69 year-old wines, 100% Grenache.
The 2015 stamp of full throttle acidity and tannins that has run through Old Vine and Ovitelli Grenache is very evident in the High Sands. It is still an adolescent. Sourced from Block 31, the highest section (210m elevation) of the 1946 planted bush vine Grenache, which also happens to have the deepest sand.
High Sands is Yangarra’s grail. High Sands means intense, brilliant, taut yet harmonious, serene, wholesome and complex.
Deep red/purple colour. The bouquet holds smoky, charry, savoury aromas with some dry spice notes, and has depth and gravity which mirrors the deep colour and is more profound than usual in pure grenache wines. Clove, pepper, mixed-spice aromas, full body and powerful flavour. The tannins are fine and soft and nicely balanced, providing impressive structure to the wine. An outstanding grenache. 22 MAY 2018
