Description

The debut of the 'Circle' label was a massive hit, and the 2025 follow-up proves it wasn't a fluke. This is Yangarra bringing their elite, organic and biodynamic farming to a price point that frankly feels like a mistake in your favour. It is arguably the best value entry-point into the world of premium McLaren Vale Rosé.

The 2025 vintage was the driest on record for the region, leading to tiny yields and small, concentrated berries. Despite the rapid ripening, the fruit retained incredible natural acidity. The blend is a classic Southern Rhône mix: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Shiraz, Cinsault, Carignan and Counoise all hand-picked from their elevated estate vineyards.

The winemaking team kept it cool and clean, fermenting in stainless steel before giving it five months in old French oak to build just the right amount of texture. It is pale, bone-dry and bursting with vibrant rosehip, strawberry and white cherry notes. There is a crisp, saline snap to the finish that makes it the ultimate pink picnic wine.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

The 2025 season was the driest on record for the region. These conditions produced very low yields, with small berries and high levels of concentration. A relatively warm February brought on a compact and rapid ripening period, with fruit moving through to maturity in a short timeframe. Despite the accelerated pace, the season has delivered wines with vibrant natural acidity and notable intensity, shaped by the combination of small berry size and the compressed harvest window.

WINEMAKING

Hand-picked. Varieties individually pressed to tank and settled. Clear juice racked to stainless steel for cool fermentation. Aged on lees in stainless steel for 2 months before final maturation in old French oak barrels for a total of 5 months before blending. Bottled September 2025. Certified Organic and Biodynamic.

Yangarra

Yangarra Estate stands as one of the defining properties of the Blewitt Springs sub-region in McLaren Vale. Famous for its ancient North Maslin Sands and gnarly old bush vines, it is a single-vineyard estate dedicated exclusively to the varieties of the Southern Rhône.

For over a quarter of a century, the estate was shaped by the late Peter Fraser. Pete was not just the winemaker; he was the heartbeat of the operation and a visionary who fundamentally changed the way the world views Australian Grenache. He championed "purity, beauty and elegance," moving the needle away from high alcohol and extraction towards finesse and site expression. His pioneering work with ceramic eggs, amphorae and biodynamic farming helped earn Yangarra the title of International Winery of the Year twice.

While the loss of Pete is deeply felt across the industry, the wines remain a lasting testament to his genius. From the world-class Old Vine Grenache and the brooding Ironheart Shiraz to the textural, ceramic-aged Roussanne, every bottle reflects his philosophy of "always a little further." Today, Yangarra remains a certified biodynamic powerhouse and a benchmark producer, continuing to honour the legacy of one of the country's greatest winemakers.
