This week we are talking about a small Barossa family winery that produces excellent wines, YELLAND & PAPPS, and in particular their very aptly named wine, YELLAND & PAPPS 2014 BAROSSA “DIVINE” SHIRAZ. www.yellandandpapps.com
It is pleasing to see wines being released with a little bit more age on them, in this case four years. This wine was made with minimal winemaking intervention using wild yeast in open fermenters and was basket pressed.
Its bouquet is a melange of plums, herbs, oak and a sniff of forest floor. It has awesome mouth-filling flavours which are big, rich and plummy with a dollop of fine grained tannins, all in harmony and perfectly balanced. As a bonus, the finish lingers beautifully for ages, teasing the palate into pleading for more. A TRULY DIVINE WINE!
