Description

Yacca Block sits at the top of Menglers Hill and is a prime example of the role sub-regionality plays in serious winemaking, with this vineyard only a 25 minutes drive from the Western Ranges of the Barossa Valley.

The soil here is a mix of both quartz and ironstone and the vineyard’s high altitude allows for slow ripening that leads to a very soft and elegant Shiraz. This vineyard site also supplies Shiraz for Charlie’s Garden, and Riesling for The Boy.

Tasting Profile

Nose
A very tight bouquet of cedar, dark berry liqueur, polished timber, smoke, glazed plums, cassis, baking spice backed by violets and cigar box.
Palate
The palate explodes from the get go, this coils up and bursts forth with flavours that smash every corner of your mouth. After time in the decanter, this wine begins to settle down, slowly showing more nuance, grace and manners. Deep blackcurrant and rich powerful fruits expand to show you the structure behind the wine, a lovely layering emerges and the tannins give you an amazing length to a very balanced finish. This is a very interesting ride, one not for the faint hearted. As seen in all of our 2021 wines, there is an inner core and magical softness that makes this vintage just so god damn magical.
