Yangarra Estate Vineyard
2021 Roux Beauté Roussanne
97 Points Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion

Picked on a fruit day of the biodynamic calendar, with a portion destemmed and crushed to ceramic eggs where it remained on skins for 121 days, gleaning textural nourishment, complexity and persuasion. The rest, in an egg sans skins. All wild fermented. Among the greatest wines of this country, irrespective of colour. Rooibos, lanolin, quince, pithy stone fruits and almond croissant. A powerful, prodigiously textural wine of depth, resonance and profound belief.

2021 Ovitelli Blanc
95 Points Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion

The second release of this wine. Hand-picked grenache blanc (73%) and roussanne (27%), with small portions macerated on skins for a whopping 112 to 121 days. The rest, whole-bunch pressed to ceramic eggs for fermentation under natural yeast. Culled and blended to the tune of compelling exactitude, richness and uncanny freshness, belying the overtones of stone fruit, Mirabelle plum and tea tree as much as the baritone of marzipan, truffle and pine resin. This wine marks the future in these parts, auguring real greatness.

2021 Hapgood Pinot Noir
97 Points Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

Bay leaf and hints of damp cannabis add a fascinating terpene kick to the underripe black raspberry aromas that lead the nose on this bottling. A vibrant, refreshing acidity powers the plush, thirst-quenching palate, where cherry and strawberry flavors are cut by peppery herbs. It’s both hedonistic and intellectual.

2021 3D Pinot Noir
97 Points Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

This is often one of the top vineyard
selections, and one that Greg Brewer has worked with for decades. Utterly fresh aromas of cherry,raspberry, tarragon, lemon verbena and cracked pepper erupt on the nose. The palate is also explosive, vibrating with swirling waves of red fruit and
menthol. It’s an addictive taste, perhaps acquired,but resoundingly delicious.

Rounded and fresh aromas of boysenberry jam, lavender and rose petal are floral while rich and juicy on the nose of this bottling.

Greg Brewer’s wines manage to reflect both a winemaking style and a specific
site at the same time. In this version, aromas of sour cherry, pepper and herbs lead into a palate loaded with raspberry jellies and more minty herbs, capturing the wind-cooled sunshine and surrounding
nature with glee.
