Description
This is the debut release of Circle - a brand-new range from Yangarra focused on expressive, organically grown wines that punch well above their weight. And what a way to kick things off. The 2024 Circle Grenache Blanc is not only a brilliant first outing for this rare variety in Australia, it also steps into the shoes of the much-loved Yangarra Blanc, our 2024 Bargain White Wine of the Year. Big shoes, no problem.
Grown on Yangarra’s certified organic and biodynamic vineyard in McLaren Vale’s elevated northeast, the fruit comes from a vintage that threw a few surprises - an early promise of heat gave way to mid-season rains, resulting in fruit with generosity, texture, and natural freshness. The team responded with deft vineyard work and a precise pick, giving us a white that’s bursting with energy and flavour.
Expect a wash of lemon blossom, green apple, and citrus pith, backed by savoury hints of almond meal and fennel. The use of ceramic egg, stainless steel and old oak gives it just the right amount of mid-palate texture while keeping things crisp and refreshing on the finish.
This is a seriously versatile white that’s built for the table - but it’s also just a pleasure to drink. As far as debut releases go, this one’s a beauty. Exceptional value, huge potential, and an exciting new chapter for one of Australia’s most forward-thinking producers.

"All estate-grown biodynamic and organic fruit, matured in ceramic egg and old French barrels. Golden apples, Meyer lemon, a herbal mint/sage/cypress note, sappy florals and a little brown spice. This is full of both flavour and vital energy, the palate built on leesy texture, a subtly pithy chew and gentle but active acidity. It’s exciting to see McLaren Vale's whites gather in strength and diversity – long may it continue."
