Yangarra Ovitelli Grenache 2019 – McLaren Vale’s Ceramic-Aged Masterpiece

Critically Acclaimed Grenache from Ancient Vines
Crafted from 75-year-old vines in McLaren Vale, this 2019 vintage showcases Grenache at its most elegant. Aged unconventionally in ceramic eggs for 158 days, the Ovitelli skips oak to highlight pure varietal character and terroir—earning 99 pts from James Suckling, who praises its “exquisite dried red-berry core” and “leaf-like tannins.”

A Symphony of Aromas & Texture
Expect a shimmering antique-rose hue with layered aromas of wild raspberries, blood orange, and rose petals, lifted by white pepper and garrigue. The palate balances silky texture with vibrant acidity, offering juicy red currants, crushed herbs, and ultrafine tannins—a signature of Yangarra’s meticulous winemaking.

Why Choose Ovitelli?
– Ceramic Egg Fermentation: Enhances purity without oak influence (Wine Advocate 95 pts: “intriguing paradox of drying yet mouthwatering”).
– Extended Skin Contact: 158 days on skins extracts depth while preserving freshness (Wine Enthusiast 97 pts: “pulses with energy”).
– Age-Worthy Elegance: Drink now for its floral brilliance or cellar until 2029 for added complexity.

Perfect Pairing
Ideal with duck confit, mushroom risotto, or charcuterie. At 14% ABV, it’s structured yet approachable—a conversation-starting red for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
