Yangarra

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

Simpsons describe this wine as their Great British Classic Method Rosé. It is the epitome of English taste and luxury and is created from exclusively estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes hand-picked from our vineyards situated on the iconic chalk slopes of the North Downs of Kent.

Harvesting & Vinification: Pinot Noir grapes from our Roman Road vineyard site were carefully hand-picked and gently whole-bunch pressed in an Inertys, oxygen-free pneumatic press to preserve and protect the pure, primary red fruit flavours and aromatics. The juice was then cold settled in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks prior to primary fermentation. The wine progressed through full malolactic fermentation and then rested in tank prior to tirage in spring 2020.
Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: After the secondary fermentation in the bottle the wine then aged on its lees for fifteen months prior to disgorgement and then a further four months under cork prior to release in November 2021.

Tasting

This wine is delicately pink, with a very fine bead. It has a soft rose petal and fresh strawberry sorbet nose, illustrating finesse and balance. On the palate there are crisp, wild berry flavours balanced with hints of almond and rose, ending with a clean, complex finish.

Food Pairings

Pairs with bacon sandwichs, gammon steaks, pheasant.

Ageing

Cellaring Potential: Will drink well through to 2024, and potentially beyond if its cellared correctly.
