"Rijkdom en intensiteit zonder een spoor van zwaarte"
Yangarra's topcuvée, de High Sands Grenache, is volgens Master of Wine Cees van Casteren zelfs de allerbeste, de ""King of Australian Grenache"". En het moet gezegd, het is een wijn met koninklijke allure. Afkomstig van het beste deel van de Yangarra Vineyard en in zeer kleine oplage op fles gebracht. De wijze waarop rijkdom, intensiteit en complexiteit zich hier zonder een spoor van zwaarte manifesteren is werkelijk uniek. Bramen, bessen, kirsch, garrigue en specerijen, op superieure wijze omlijst door rulle tannine die de wijn naar een grandioze finale leiden. Een droom voor de liefhebber van het allerbeste en meest klassieke uit Châteauneuf.

So rich, complex and intense with a wealth of very ripe, powerful fruit on offer. Blood-orange and pomegranate notes, together with stony aromas, providing a very complex feel. The palate is super powerful and juicy. So very long, so rich and so well defined, showing mouthwatering tannins and a very sleek, long and juicy drive of red-fruit flavor. This has immense power and carries rich, ripe red and blue fruit. Wow. So intense. Drink or hold.

Sourced from the highest plot of bush vines, planted in 1946. Hand picked, sorted and destemmed to an even combination of both crushed and whole berries. Wild fermented, élévage in eggs and older French oak This is an imperious grenache if that adjective can be ascribed to a grape variety this joyous; this giddy of fruit and yet, underlying it all, a defining totem of immaculately extracted tannins. Kirsch, bramble, anise, clove, sandalwood and wood smoke drive long against a tannic parry: sandy, granular and emery-like.

Intense ruby colour, bright and clear throughout the glass. Wine gums, dry earth and wakame on the nose. The palate is medium in weight but full in power. Fruit sits with depth, but the tannin profile is something special in its intensity and grip. Great length, it lingers very long. Time in the cellar is highly recommended as this will age very well. If you're a classical Châteauneuf-du-Pape fan, then this is a wine to note.

More traditionally styled than the Ovitelli or Hickinbotham, the 2018 High Sands Grenache underwent indigenous fermentation in open-top vats and then the free-run juice was put into older French oak, where it matured for 11 months. It's deeper colored yet not dark, with subtle notes of pencil shavings accenting black cherries and licorice. Full-bodied and concentrated without being heavy or dense, it delivers a range of berry flavors, intriguing notions of garrigue and a long, richly textural finish.
