Yangarra Estate Vineyard
2001 Appellation Series Shiraz
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD Recommended

Plum, berry and mocha nose flavors with a touch of vanillin oak. Rich and ready to drink. A great tribute to the Syrah grape.

Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator

Light and brightly fruity, relatively firm in support of its berry and mineral flavors, which echo nicely.

2001 Shiraz South Eastern Australia
Editor, The New York Times, NY Three Stars - Excellent

Great intensity, creamy and lush, Hesser said. Ford liked the smoothness and balance, and detected eucalyptus aromas. Prial called it long and powerful with good fruit and a tarry taste. But Asimov felt it was too oaky.

2000 Shiraz South Eastern Australia
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD

Filled with blackberry and strawberry fruit, it filled the mouth with soft tannins and vanillin oak. Again, it won't be the biggest shiraz you have ever tasted, but there won't be any doubt that it was well made.

2018 Noir McLaren Vale
Dan Traucki, Wine Assist

Finally to my favourite, the 2018 NOIR, a very clever wine from the crossword on the front label that spells out the varieties involved in the blend, through to the thought and effort that must have gone in, to come up with such a smashing blend.

2018 Noir McLaren Vale
Michael Andrewartha, In Daily, AUS Four top reds to keep you warm over winter

Four top reds to keep you warm over winter One of the most interesting projects we’ve been watching is over at Yangarra. They’ve planted most of the grape varieties of France’s Chateauneuf-du-pape region, some of which I can barely pronounce, like Counoise (if you say something like “Coo-Nwah-z” that’s about right). In 2018 they finally released something with all the red varieties blended together called “Noir”. Pete Fraser is the brains behind the winemaking – my parents also happen to be his godparents, but I think wine lovers with an unbiased view would agree his wines are incredible. This is fresh, lively and jam-packed with flavour, perfect for the introduction of winter and something braised.

2017 Mourvèdre McLaren Vale
Dan Traucki, Wine Assist

Starting with the 2017 MOURVEDRE (I wish they would call it either Monastrell being its original Spanish name OR Mataro, the Aussie name for the variety – so much easier for consumers to remember and spell), this is one of the best Australian Monastrell I have tasted so far. Oh, so yummy! Perfectly balanced and silky smooth – AN ABSOLUTE RIPPER!!

2015 Mourvèdre McLaren Vale
Winsor Dobbin, Wine of the Week Wine of the Week

Wine of the Week Mourvedre is a grape with several personalities. Also known as mataro or monastrell, it is grown in France, Spain and the United States, as well as in the warmer regions of Australia. Not only is it a key component in GSM blends, it is also widely used in fortified wines, as well as a component of some rosés. Most of the Mourvèdre from the Yangarra estate vineyard at Kangarilla goes into a GSM but limited-quantity varietals are produced in exceptional years. This is a very lively and spicy wine, perfumed, with grippy tannins and extremely enjoyable even in its youth. Kept on lees for 10 months in older oak barrels this is unashamedly fruit driven, unfined and certified biodynamic. Lovely stuff.

Regan Drew, VinoNotebook 18.50/20

Light gold colour with bright green highlights. Rich aromas of sliced stonefruits, warm dripping wax, magnolia flower, preserved lemon and sweeter subtle toffee. Carries the same depth and richness across the palate, yet with definite energy and and drive. The flavour persists long with a firm texture. 18.50/20.

2016 Roux Beauté Roussanne
Max Allen, Gourmet Traveller Wine

Drinking white wine in the sun A serious white for a winegeek's dinner party: 2016 Yangarra Roux Beauté Roussanne, McLaren Vale, $72 The roussanne grape isn't short of flavour or richness, and this one has added layers of complexity from extended skin contact and fermentation in big ceramic eggs. It's fabulously rich and textural and mouth-filling, but perfectly balanced, too.

2016 Roux Beauté Roussanne
Max Allen, Financial Review Wine Pick

This fragrant and richly textural white wine was fermented in two, 675-litre, egg-shaped ceramic vessels, one filled with crushed fruit – skins, pips and all – and one with just juice. The crushed fruit batch spent 160 days on skins before being siphoned off; the finished wine is a blend of the two eggs. It's sensual fluid that caresses the tongue.

2016 Roux Beauté Roussanne
Max Allen, Financial Review Cheers to the roussanne renaissance in Australian vineyards

Arguably Australia’s finest roussanne, this wine is all about profound complexity and alluring texture. It was made from grapes grown in sandy, gravelly soil; wild yeast fermented and aged in large ceramic eggs, with two-thirds of the blend spending four-and-a-half months on skins before being pressed off. The result isn’t funky and tannic, though, as you might expect: instead it’s fine and floral, with a full, silky texture that caresses the tongue. Absolutely spellbinding.

A Toast to Earth Day - The Biodynamic Wines of Yangarra This was a beautiful silky Roussanne with a wonderful bouquet on the nose of fruit, floral and spice. With just the right amount of acid, this wine left a long lingering finish on the palate. This was an exceptional Rousanne that stood out in its style and personality.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard: Southern Rhône Specialists in South Australia’s McLaren Vale 2016 Yangarra Estate Vineyard Roussanne — medium yellow in the glass with aromas of pears, dried oat hay and dusty gravel. Flavors of white peach, pear, oat hay, dusty gravel and lingering spice combine for a complex flavor profile in a medium body with bright acidity. Flavors last a very long time. This is a substantial and balanced white wine. This is a lovely, serious white wine. Its complexity will keep you thinking about what you’re tasting. I want to say this is a brilliant food wine, because of its body and acidity, but don’t overlook its sipping potential as well. Pair it with creamy pasta, chicken or fish.
