The 2023 Yangarra Estate Shiraz is a beautifully refined McLaren Vale Shiraz, crafted from biodynamically farmed estate vineyards in the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs. Inspired by Northern Rhône Syrah styles, it combines richness with freshness, elegance and savoury complexity. The nose is highly perfumed with blackberry, plum and boysenberry layered alongside black pepper, violets, olive tapenade and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky texture, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity delivering exceptional balance and finesse. Savoury mineral notes, dark fruit and gentle oak integration carry through a long, polished and beautifully structured finish. The style is refined, site-driven and highly expressive, showcasing the purity and elegance that Yangarra is renowned for.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout modern Australian Shiraz wines for customers who enjoy Rhône-inspired styles with perfume, spice and elegance rather than heavy richness. Sophisticated yet highly approachable, it pairs beautifully with lamb, chargrilled meats, duck or mushroom dishes. Drink now with decanting or cellar confidently over the next 8–12 years.
