Grown in volcanic soils on Howell Mountain, this long-living giant has dense plum and raspberry flavors with floral aromas and herbal, mineral notes that are sure to evolve with a decade of aging.

Welcome to the debut Ovitelli Blanc release. A magnificent wine, there is plenty going on as you'd expect from Yangarra Estate. The back label states, "Renowned for our Grenache and respecting the distant homelands of this variety, we planted its white varietal cousins." Lovers of texture and interest ought to dip their oar in.
This is one serious piece of masterful blending of Grenache Blanc, Rousanne, Clairette, Piquepoul and Bourboulenc (50/25/12/9/4). Fermented exclusively in ceramic eggs, 59% saw skin contact for 90-126 days, which comes through in the mouthfeel. Great width through the mouth, it's all pears, quince, pie apple and a dash of lemon juice. Wonderfully weighted, it rolls through with ease - a ball of pleasure if you will. A minerally drive takes a back seat with an ever-so-soft nuttiness. Cinnamon spices close things out leaving a tonic-like texture in its wake. This has the potential to be something special for Yangarra Estate - watch this space.
