Wine

Yangarra Estate Ovitelli Grenache is selected from dry grown bush vines planted in 1946. The vines grow in weathered sands in the estate vineyard adjacent to the estate's High Sands Block.

The name Ovitelli is a hybrid of the Latin words ovi meaning 'egg' and vitelli meaning 'life'. After mechanical sorting, the grapes are destemmed and wild yeast fermented in 675 litre ceramic eggs.

The wine spends an entire autumn maturing on skins exclusively in these big ceramic eggs. No pressings are used. It is bottled without fining, just filtration.

Bright crimson, Yangarra Estate Ovitelli Grenache is perfumed and elegant with intense red fruit flavours and a strong tannic backbone. Cellaring potential is 12 years.
