The Ovitelli Grenache is the mid-level Grenache of Yangarra, planted right next to the High Sands vineyard. The 75 year old vines are also grown in deep sand. One of the main, if not the main difference is that this wine is matured in ceramic eggs, not oak. It remains on skins for a long 100 days or so.
The 2019 Yangarra Ovitelli Shiraz is simply a beautiful and delicious wine. It is fragrant and intense at the same time. The strawberry colour translates to strawberry flavours, as well as maraschino cherry. The wine has a vibrant and silky mouthfeel, great purity and not heavy. The tannins are finely detailed and remain in the background. The underlying acidity promises a long life. The finish is long with savoury undertones. - Stunning!
Score: 96/+++
