5 STAR WINERY RATING – WINE COMPANION

 

In 2000, Jackson Family Wines, one of the leading premium wine producers in California, acquired the then 172ha Eringa Park Vineyard, where the oldest vines dated back to 1923. The renamed Yangarra Estate Vineyard has since moved to certified biodynamic status for its vineyards and is exclusively devoted to varieties of the southern Rhône. Winemaker Peter Fraser has taken Yangarra Estate to another level altogether with his innovative winemaking and desire to explore all the possibilities of the Rhône’s red and white styles. Yangarra's wines are regularly judged to be among Australia's finest. JAMES HALLIDAY
