Yelland & Papps is a 1st generation husband and wife team starting in 2005 in the iconic Barossa Valley, using a minimal intervention approach to create elegant, structured fruit forward wines to enjoy in a social aspect or can cellar gracefully for many years to come.
In the winery there a focus on using a lot of whole bunch fermentation, no filtration, larger format oak and putting 100% whole bunches in puncheons and letting them sit for up to a year in some cases. All wines are wild fermented, unfined, vegan friendly and unfiltered with only a couple whites being filtered.
It encompasses not only the old-vine material of the Barossa, but names familiar to all such as Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro all make an appearance in the Yelland & Papps range. It’s a passion for the future stars of the Barossa, varieties such as Vermentino, Carignan, Roussanne, varieties that are well-suited to Australia’s most famous wine region and the proof is in a glass of Yelland & Papps wines.
Their wines showcase fruit as the hero and using a lighter touch with fine grain oak, make wines that are delicate and elegant. Using minimal inputs during the winemaking process to allow the fruit to speak in a clear voice, uncluttered by overzealous oak and a heavy hand.
