Planted to Tempranillo in 2000, just outside Kuitpo on the southwest escarpment of Mount Lofty Ranges, Yacca Paddock’s vistas overlooking the Gulf of St Vincent enjoy rejuvenating maritime breezes which encourage vines to yield harvests of the ripest tannins and intensely complex varietal characters. Vinified in traditional open fermenters, Yacca Paddock makes a wonderfully textural, stylish wine of natural fruit sweetness, tart red cherry flavours and juicy, food friendly savouryness, prepare a grill of Mediterranean veggies or fry of fresh sardines and have a Yacca.
