About the Wine

If you're looking for a 'natural' red wine that goes down easily, then the 2018 Yangarra PF Shiraz is sure to please.

Coming from Yangarra's certified organic and biodynamic McLaren Vale vineyard, this sees no additions whatsoever in both vineyard and winery. The warm 2018 vintage has resulted in an incredibly vibrant and juicy style, just bursting with pure Shiraz fruit.

A great introduction to the stunning wines of Yangarra, and amazing value for a wine as naturally grown and made as they come.

About Yangarra

Yangarra Estate is one of a small group of powerhouse wineries to raise its head from the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale. Their wines are made entirely from an amazing old bush vine single vineyard, with the 2016 Halliday Winemaker of the Year, Peter Fraser, pulling the reins as winemaker. They are a certified biodynamic wine producer, and have even been named International Winery of the Year, twice!

They specialise in varieties found in the Rhone Valley. In the reds, their Grenache is as good as any in the land and is truly world class, with Shiraz and Mourvedre not far behind. The same applies to whites, the Roussanne expressions from Fraser’s experimentation with ceramic eggs are some of the most interesting in the country. In time, each of the 13 Rhone varieties will be grown on the Yangarra block.

A premium benchmark for the Blewitt Springs sub-region, and one of the country's modern day icon producers.

Additional Info

From the Producer

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 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.

VINEYARD INFORMATION

Critic Reviews

DDS review

It's vivacious and jubilant for a McLaren Vale Shiraz. Pops from the glass with plum, licorice, boysenberry and soft pepper tones. It's juicy to taste, ripe but with solid, sandy tannins. So youthful. So unadorned. So much guilt free fun in a bottle. - Different Drop Wine Team

DDS review

"This is the sixth vintage of a preservative-free red from Yangarra, and it's an absolute cracker: lots of slurpy dark fruit, fine silky tannins. It was made from certified biodynamically grown grapes, so make sure you pair it with some fine biodynamically farmed lamb – preferably skewered on rosemary twigs and grilled over charcoal" - Max Allen (Australian Financial Review)

FaQs

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!

Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it.

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.

Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
