Back in 2021, Jo Perry and her viticulturist partner, Jim, took on a 20-year lease at Yungarra Estate. Set midway between Dunsborough and Yallingup, the vineyard boasts some of the most striking views in the region. The healthy soils comprise gravelly loams, and the site benefits from cooling maritime breezes from the south and west. It’s certified organic and diligently managed by Jim, ensuring consistently superb fruit is delivered to the cellar for maximum care and minimal handling by Jo. The fruit was picked by hand and fermented with a combination of destemmed fruit and bunches. Daily plunging took place over 14 days, after which the wine was pressed to oak for maturation.

Reviews

“So pure, so pretty, vibrant and ultra crunchy, thirst-quenching wine of vitality and energy. Red cherry, sarsparilla, cranberry and dark plums. Skinsy tannins, tense and shimmering with vitality, extends its flavours beautiful, a trill of frisky, sweet spice lingers with cola and bitter herbs in the mix. Just fantastic. What a ripper drink. And yet enough structure and savoury and tannin and layers to fruit character to bring it all home. A chill would go nice too.”

“It was a mistake to taste this just before lunch. My tastebuds starting craving jamón, salted almonds and Spanish olives. Plus, a big glass of this delicious wine – to drink. It’s such a cheery, juicy number full of red plums, cherries and a splash of cola/sarsaparilla and fruit pastilles, with a sprinkling of dried herbs. Lighter framed with fine, grainy tannins and uplifting acidity, you can certainly chill this down in warmer weather. Either way, an excellent wine.”
