Tasting Notes

The first crop of Roussanne from the 2000. vintage was covered in tiny ‘Money Spiders’. Popular belief is that kindness to these creatures will bring good luck, so Chester refrained from sending the spiders to their death. By the next year the Money Spiders had relocated, making the first release of this wine in 2001. This wine has an intense, exotic nose with aromas of orange zest, kaffir lime and lemon grass. The palate is rich and intense with loads of texture. There's concentrated flavours of citrus, grapefruit and green mango, followed by an attractive, slightly grippy phenolic finish.

Harvest:The 2022 growing season followed very similar conditions to 2021, though slightly cooler. There were favourable winter rains and a mild flowering and fruit set period. The cool ripening period took place between late January through to harvest in March. Yields were well balanced, and we are pleased with the fruit ripeness, intensity, freshness, and natural acidity.

Winemaking:The unfined and unsettled juice was transferred to French oak puncheons (30% new), where it underwent wild yeast fermentation. The wine was then matured for 8 months, with monthly lees stirring to promote further texture and complexity. It was bottled in November 2022.

Viticulture:Yangarra is a single-vineyard estate situated in Blewitt Springs, at the northern edge of the McLaren Vale region, South Australia. Yangarra’s combination of ancient geology, high altitude and Mediterranean climate provide the ideal growing conditions for the best grape varieties of the southern Rhône. Along with Australia’s First Families of Wine, committed to reducing carbon emissions and reaching net carbon zero targets by 2035.

Food Pairing:Roasted Chicken, Carbonara, Camembert, Brie, Butter Chicken,

Halliday Companion - Ned Goodwin MW

Hand-picked and basket pressed, partially to French puncheons (30% new), where it underwent spontaneous fermentation following controlled oxidative handling. Often nudging the top cuvées, yet a bit more understated in terms of its make-up, if not a little more effusive of its pithy, gingery stone fruit and rooibos exclamations. As reliant on a chewy rail of phenolics as obvious freshness, this is very good and strongly suggestive of great southern Rhône expressions.

Yangarra Estate

Yangarra Estate, located in the Blewitt Springs district of McLaren Vale, South Australia, is a biodynamic vineyard renowned for its unique terroir. With 54-million-year-old geology and wind-blown sands, the region's higher elevation and cooling maritime climate create ideal conditions for growing the best grape varieties of the southern Rhône. The estate, first planted in 1946, spans 87 hectares, with Grenache and Shiraz as its flagship varieties. Since 2000, Peter Fraser has been the winemaker and visionary behind Yangarra. His approach to winemaking is focused on vineyard expression, believing that the key to great wine lies in preserving the authentic taste of the land. Peter's deep experience includes extensive time spent working in cellars and vineyards across Australia, Spain, France, and the U.S. His expertise earned him the title of 2016 Winemaker of the Year by James Halliday, and in 2018, he was nominated as Best Winemaker by Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
