91 / 100""A real treat, attesting to the synergy of variety and region when it comes to grenache and the Vale. Scents of kirsch, orange zest and pomegranate, with a twine of herbal-clad tannin and saline freshness placating the teeming fruit. What's not to love?""

87 / 100
""Deep, dark purple/red colour, with a fresh herb aroma, a little grassiness, the palate lean and light to medium-bodied, very savoury in its flavours and elegantly-framed, albeit possessing ample tannins. The texture is smooth and the tannins ripe. Just a smidge of aldehyde on the nose is a concern. (PF = preservative-free. No additives were used throughout the production)""

""Sweet and sloshy, shows the 14% alc in generosity, just so darn sweet and fruity, feels candied and bubblegummy and jubey. A lolly wine. Good tannin here, no doubt, but the sweetness is just crazy. A chill will be needed.""

Tasting Notes
Sourced from grapes grown on certified biodynamic single-estate vineyard, Yangarra 'PF' Grenache, McLaren Vale is a fresh, medium bodied wine grown without the addition of chemicals and herbicides. Luscious and fruity, this wine is best enjoyed young and paired with hearty dishes.
Colour tells you exactly what to expect. Luminescent purple and bright. Pure fruited natural wine expression. Lashings of white pepper, raspberry and vanilla bean. Exactly how preservative free wine should be. Drink young.
