Yangarra Preservative Free Shiraz 2021
The PF Shiraz is made from grapes grown on our certified biodynamic single estate vineyard, grown without herbicides, fungicides or synthetic chemicals. It is made without additions of any kind: sulphur (preservative), acid, tannin or finings. It’s a medium bodied, fresh, fruit driven wine that is delicious enjoyed as a young wine. With that in mind, we do have PF Shiraz back to our first vintage of 2013 that is still showing some of lovely vibrant characters.
The wine was carefully basket pressed after approximately 2 weeks on skins. No additives were used throughout the entire production. No fining occurred, just filtration.
VARIETY: 100% Shiraz
"This is a very pure, super-young style of shiraz that is all about the unadulterated taste of blueberry and red-plum shiraz fruit. Smooth, open-knit, and plump, it has no sulfites added – hence the preservative-free acronym. Drink now. Screw cap." - 92 points, James Suckling
Waipara West Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Smelling this wine, you are instantly saturated with lofty aromas of passionfruit sherbet and sweet florals. Asian herbs like lemongrass and Thai basil add a savoury backdrop. Dry river bed and salt crust provide further earthy complexity. Full and juicy in the mouth ripe tropical fruit like richness flows through to a textured and cleansing granny smith finish with a stain like persistence.
First Drop Vivo Adelaide Hills Arneis 2021
This is the ultimate summer cleanser. Forget your G&T, this Arneis from the cool climates of the Adelaide Hills will quench and refresh. Citrus and lime zest with a hint
of nashi pear and minerality.
But this wine isn’t just an aperitivo tease. Its purity of fruit, zippy persistence and finely textured finish make it the ‘perfect match’ for a feast of dishes.
Colour: Pale straw with tinge of green
Nose: Nashi pear and passionfruit with a hint of lime
Palate: Nashi pear and pithy fruit avours dominate, with lime zest and minerality, making the palate long and zingy.
"From a parcel in Kersbrook, this has aromas of lemon blossom and wet stones with a gently herbal edge. The palate has some lees-derived texture with a compact and lively feel. Crisp and gently grippy with a dry, lively and tangy apple and lemon finish. Drink now. Screw cap." - 92 points, James Suckling
