Yangarra Estate Hickinbotham Clarendon Grenache 2020
The growing season was affected by a very hot spring, leading to the lowest yields on record. As the grapes started their ripening process the weather miraculously cooled to a very mild ripening season.

Hand-picked on the 25th of March and selectively berry sorted. 100% destemmed, crushed and tipped into 1800L ācocciopestoā stone egg shaped amphoras.

Matured exclusively in amphora for a total of 11 months. Bottled April 2021.
Medium ruby with raspberries, violets and dried thyme aromas. Red fruits, dry herbs and sandstone flavours are layered throughout. Finesse power harnessed by crunchy tannins.
