2017 Yangarra Estate Preservative Free Shiraz Biodynamic, McLaren Vale

squeaky-clean presentation of young Shiraz, this is also a glass full of joy and laughter. It's bright and stimulating, but not light in any way other than mood - its tannins will see it cellar longer than, say, any nouveau Beaujolais, but as a young wine it's just as carefree in attitude. It's intense, dark and perhaps like fresh soft liquorice in a way. This is pure, audacious, open-hearted fun.” - Peter Fraser, Winemaker.

100% Shiraz

Estate grown in Kangarilla, McLaren Vale, SA

Cold soaked, wild yeast ferment, pressed after 11 days on skins, no additives, no fining, only filtration.

Destemmed whole berries, cold soaked, with wild yeast employed in small open topped fermenters. There's a distinctly sauvage feeling all about this wine which is entirely appropriate. It's sophisticated McLaren Vale shiraz in all its glory so to speak. Aromas and flavours purely of the black fruit from the red earth, and with minimal interference, here it is. Drink by 2027
