Searching for the perfect vineyard to enter the Australian market, Jess Jackson & Barbara Banke visited Yangarra Estate in 2000, and purchased the vineyard a year later. Bringing Jackson Family Wines to Australia.

The Yangarra story goes back much further than that, the first Grenache plantings went in in 1946, and took to the sandy McLaren Vale soil.

The Jackson family appointed Peter Fraser and Michael Lane to revive this fantastic vineyard and its old vines.

The investment from the Jackson family has really paid off, Yangarra are delivering stunning quality wines at incredibly affordable prices. Look no further than the 2017 “Old Vine” Grenache (97 points – James Halliday), or 2017 Shiraz (97 points – James Halliday), all sub $30 through us.

Product Details

Description

Simspsons' describe this as This Great British Classic Method Blanc de Noirs exemplifies English finesse and balance and is created from exclusively estate grown Pinot Noir Clone 115, hand-picked from our vineyards situated on the iconic chalk slopes of the North Downs of Kent.

Harvesting & Vinification: Grapes from Pinot Noir Clone 115 were hand-picked over a five day period. We use this particular clone to create a more full-bodied style owing to a slight accentuation of tannins, developing into a more luxurious mouth-feel.

Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: The base wine underwent malolactic fermentation and spent three months in tank ageing on light lees. After a series of tastings, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled to obtain the ‘prise de mousse’. Following the bottle fermentation, the wine spent twenty-seven months ageing on yeast lees prior to disgorgement, followed by four months ageing under cork, prior to release in November 2021.

Tasting

With a golden hue and a fine, persistent bead, this wine has a luxurious, vanilla and fine pastry nose. On the palate it is elegant and poised, with poached pear and generous red fruit flavours perfectly married with hints of almond croissant and wonderful savoury nuances. It is bone dry and has a smooth, elegant finish.

Food Pairings

Serve with appetisers, such as smoked salmon bellini or shellfish.

Ageing

Cellaring Potential: Drink through to 2025, or potentially longer, depending upon cellaring.
