Yangarra Blanc 2023

This season’s blend is made up of 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Clariette, 22% Piquepoul, 18% Bourboulenc, 8% Roussanne and 2% Grenache Gris. Once again another harmonious wine, how as winemaker you don’t get lost amongst those percentages, I’ll never know because this wine feels effortless in its fresh, zippy attitude and harmonious acid line. This is one very crisp and crunchy drink, with some creamy almond milk richness and a stony finish. Plenty to keep you coming back for more. Drink now with fresh oozy cheeses and basil oil, with bread for mopping it all up.
