Marcus Ellis - Halliday's Wine Companion
From across the estate’s 13.3ha of '46-planted bush-vine grenache. Half whole-berry ferment with gentle pumpovers and extended maceration on some parcels (up to 10 months); matured in older French puncheons, foudres, ceramic eggs and amphorae. Structured and compact, with a pervasive line of acidity, this requires considerable air to amplify its charms. Once achieved, the flavour set remains savoury but with more levity. Dried cranberry and cherry, faded red florals, cracked earth and pepper, the tannins mouth-puckering and sandy – nebbiolo-like. This needs ample time and will age extremely well.

David Sly - Decanter
Black-fruited grunt with savoury olive and sage. A surprise compared to the suppleness of other Yangarra Grenaches, but these 1946 vines have attitude. A grumpy old bugger that begrudgingly yields with time in the glass, showing its tender heart.

Ned Goodwin MW James Suckling
A beautiful opening act from a splendid source of quality McLaren Vale grenache. Notes of dried rose petals, spruce and kirsch. A little hard, rustic and ferrous at the end, although nothing a stiff decant or a short stint in the cellar can’t remedy. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. Screw cap.
