2018 Yangarra Ovitelli Grenache McLaren Vale

"This old, bush-vine parcel of biodynamically farmed grenache is fermented in ceramic eggs and is delivered as a style that trades on the prowess of this parcel, to deliver a wine that is strikingly pure and ethereal. The aromas of pomegranate, wild raspberries, light dried plum and wet terra cotta are framed in light floral and herbal tones. The palate has an extremely succulent wrap of tannin, writhing in a vortex-like roll into the finish. Draws deep and long with pure, red-plum, cherry and raspberry flavors. Driving tannins. Grenache done right. Drink over the next decade. Screw cap." - James Suckling Review Date: December 2020
