Yangarra Old Vine Grenache 2019
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaThe Old Vine Grenache was the first release in 2007. In 2019 the growing season was extremely dry, leading to super-low yields easily seen in the concentration of this wine. These bush vines were planted in 1946, and the vineyard is certified biodynamic, which appears to add pure bounce to the wine's vibrancy. It is planted on the Blewitt Springs estate's deep, sandy soils. It is fermented with 50% whole berry and kept on yeast lees in older French oak. Black plums reign, with a dusting of white pepper and a salty mineral finish. Wow.Tasted: 23 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $43.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
