Hand-picked and fermented in open-tops with 30% whole berries (sans bunches) and a gentle 21 days on skins, this wine exudes blackcurrant, raspberry, mint, anise, and lilac aromas. Its refinement shines through with sinewy tannins that weave elegantly across the palate, reminiscent of a captivating songline.

In 2000, Jackson Family Wines, a prominent producer of premium wines in California, acquired the 172-hectare Eringa Park Vineyard, which boasted vines dating back to 1923. Renamed as Yangarra Estate Vineyard, it has since transitioned to certified biodynamic status, focusing exclusively on Southern Rhône varieties. Under the guidance of winemaker Peter Fraser, Yangarra Estate has reached new heights with innovative winemaking techniques and a commitment to exploring the full spectrum of the Rhône's red and white styles. Yangarra's wines consistently rank among Australia's top offerings.
