Basket pressing, wild fermentation and maturation on lees create a richly layered dry white with fragrance, savoury complexity and mineral freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYangarra Estate specialises in southern Rhône varieties grown across its McLaren Vale property, where altitude, ancient geology, ironstone-rich sandy soils and maritime influence contribute freshness, structure and distinctive site expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA normally wet winter was followed by a dry spring. Unexpected rainfall during December and January encouraged larger bunches and berry development, while warm conditions through February and early March promoted flavour ripeness and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit from two estate blocks was hand-picked on 9 and 12 March and basket pressed, with the earlier free-run juice retained for the blend. No sulphur or acid was added to the juice. Passive oxidation was used to remove unstable phenolic compounds naturally and emphasise the variety’s characteristic texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unfined and unsettled juice was transferred predominantly to seasoned French oak puncheons for wild-yeast fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was prevented. The wine matured for seven months with its lees retained and stirred monthly before racking, blending and bottling in November 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer Tasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eExpect fragrance, power, and savoury textural delight.\u003c\/q\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points — James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePublished 29 January 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eThere’s a lovely freshness here, with floral and saline-edged aromas supported by delicate notes of honeysuckle, lemon confit and mandarin oranges.
