Grown and produced in the northern edge of McLaren Vale region, the Ironheart Shiraz grapes are sourced exclusively from their single vineyard estate.  The vineyard benefits from cool climate and sandy ironstone soils, delivering concentration and finesse in the expression. 

One of the most collectable wines of South Australia, Yangarra have been named International winery of the Year twice.  Grapes are hand harvested, with 25% whole bunches wildly fermenting on lees in French oak (35% new) for 15 months. 

On the nose, Chinese five spices, paprika and white pepper. Ripe and dark on the palate with raisins, dried plum, good minerality with fine tannins and herbal acidity.

This wine has a fuller body and more obvious extract than its elegant King's Wood sibling. Firmer tannins, too. There are heady aromas of violets, licorice, charcuterie and boysenberries. There is a hint of reduction and barrel-ferment smokiness marking the mid-palate, but this is a classy, polished shiraz with immense flavors and personality. It is clearly built for the mid-term cellar. In '22 this shiraz may well be the superior variety from this site. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.
