From six estate blocks, split between ironstone and sand, destemmed with half left as whole berries; élevage in French puncheons, with 25% new and the remainder 1–3-year-old oak. This is remarkably pretty upfront, bursting with red berries and cherries, underneath a bedrock of ferrous minerality – the split of soils writ large – along with baking spices and rosy florals. Trademark Yangarra tannins kick in swiftly and carry the flavours long through a savoury finish. This is charming, but it’s also built for food. Seems like a very fine year for shiraz at this address.

Sourced from six blocks – 50% sand, 50% ironstone. 13 months in older oak, destemmed, wild ferment and 50% whole berries. What a colour! It’s like raw pigment before any of the other kids have stuck their brushes in the pot. The nose is elegant yet raw, with a wilderness to it. Bloody, rusty, cured meat and dense with fleshy red cherries and currants. It’s a heady delight. Give it time to grow after opening the bottle. White florals and delicate spice swirl and spin like a whirling dervish. Pepper berries, and chewy echoes of Dutch liquorice. Tannins are fine and al dente, structural yet with that “give” that only a form-fitting design can do when made for the person. Clove, Sichuan pepper, fruity coffee grindings and allspice. This just keeps giving. The gentle tug of acid lifts the roof and weaves the story through the wine. This isn’t a velvet glove, this is finer than velvet. Silk weave with texture. Fine and long yet it doesn’t give its secrets away in one go.
