The 2020 harvest will be remembered as a memorable one, albeit for unfortunate reasons. The growing season was marked by an unusually hot spring and devastating bushfires that swept across vast areas of Australia. Fortunately, in McLaren Vale, we were fortunate to be unaffected by both the fires and smoke damage. While the hot spring resulted in the lowest yields on record, as the grapes began their ripening process, the weather miraculously cooled, leading to one of the mildest ripening seasons. This resulted in a wonderful concentration of flavors, the preservation of natural acidity and fruit brightness, and, above all, the development of beautiful finesse and balanced tannins.

Our vineyard is certified as Biodynamic (certification # 11587) by Australian Certified Organic. We take a practical approach, focusing on maintaining healthy and vibrant soil. This involves abstaining from the use of synthetic herbicides or fungicides, utilizing compost and biodynamic preparations, employing sheep during the winter to graze under the vines, and minimizing mechanical soil disruption.

The philosophy of Yangarra is to produce wines from our single-vineyard estate that reflect the true characteristics of the region. The estate covers a total area of 170 hectares, with nearly 90 hectares dedicated to grapevine cultivation.
