Yangarra Shiraz 2016 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 88/100

Produced by Peter Fraser, a robust single-vineyard estates Shiraz from the McLaren Vale region with 50% whole berries added to the destemmed fruit which was open-fermented with wild yeasts and matured in previous use French oak barrels. Spicy with smoked meat, cracked pepper, minty and dark chocolate flavours on the palate. A lot going on here. Pair with a smoked beef brisket. This single vineyard estate is situated in the cooler, elevated northeast region of the McLaren Vale with 12 individual blocks of Shiraz vines planted in ironstone and sand soils that overlie the ancient North Maslin Sands geological formation.

Shiraz food pairings: hamburgers, steak, hearty meat dishes, hard cheese.
