2021 Yangarra Ovitelli Blanc 750Ml Bottle

This is an incredibly complex and beautifully textural white from blocks 9 and 6, mostly planted in 1946, totalling just 2.6ha. It is the best, or one of the very top skin-fermented (in this case 1/2 the wine was skin-fermented for 4 months) whites that I have ever tasted! Wild, doughy, nicely plump, very textural, with a hint of white pepper and lots of ripe pear and an almost viognier -like exoticism. Randall.

“White cherry, pear, honey and nuts, cornflakes, white flower perfume, cut fennel. It’s quite fleshy and juicy, all nashi pear and honey nut, a gentle stony grip to tannin, some pepper and almond creaminess. It’s got plenty of weight and flavour, and maybe comes over a little sweet and with some candied lemon peel, with a waxy and textured finish of good length..” 93pts – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
