Crafted by Peter Fraser and his team at Yangarra Estate, the Circle Shiraz is your no-fuss, high-flavour companion for weeknights, weekends and everything in between. Drawn from their organically and biodynamically farmed vineyard in Blewitt Springs, this new release leans into the fresher, more drinkable side of McLaren Vale Shiraz – less weight, more energy, and all charm.

Grown on the ironstone-rich North Maslin Sands soils at the cooler, elevated northeast end of McLaren Vale, the fruit comes in with loads of natural acidity and vibrant character. Its fermented wild, sees a gentle maceration on skins, then rests in old French puncheons and foudre for 11 months. This careful, hands-off approach keeps the wine light on its feet while still giving plenty of flavour.

In the glass, its all dark berries, black pepper and violets with just a touch of earthy spice. The palate is medium-weight and juicy, with soft tannins and a silky roll. No tricks, no heavy oak or jammy sweetness – just seriously good drinking Shiraz made by one of the countrys most talented winemakers.

Its young, its energetic, and its a joy to drink. Grab it for your next barbecue or pizza night and pour generously. This is modern McLaren Vale with the volume turned way down and the approachability cranked up.

“Medium weighted, with tart boysenberry, dark cherry, blueberry and warm spices. Effortless and serene with dialled-down tannic detaillovely and ready to go.”
