Yelland & Papps
Old World – leaning ethos
Yelland & Papps is a progressive Barossa producer redefining what the New World can look like. While firmly rooted in the Barossa Valley, the winery’s philosophy draws strong inspiration from Old World traditions — favouring balance, site expression and restraint over sheer power. With a commitment to earlier picking and a thoughtful, gentle hand in the winery, Yelland & Papps crafts wines that prioritise texture, clarity and minerality. Oak is used with sensitivity, allowing vineyard character to shine through. The result is a portfolio of vibrant, expressive wines that feel both modern and deeply connected to place.
The range champions varieties and styles that speak of elegance and structure: medium-bodied Grenache with savoury nuance, refined Syrah that emphasises spice and finesse, and beautifully textured whites such as Roussanne. As a Barossa Valley producer, the winery also presents its own interpretation of Barossa Shiraz — structured, savoury and balanced, expressing depth without excess. Each wine reflects a deliberate pursuit of authenticity and terroir-driven character.
Yelland & Papps demonstrates that Barossa wines can be powerful yet poised, expressive yet restrained — a harmonious meeting of New World energy and Old World soul.

Limited Cuvée Wines
The Limited Cuvée wines are rare, small-parcel releases made only in select vintages, when certain vineyard blocks show exceptional character and distinction.
These wines reflect the unique potential of sites that, in standout years, reward above and beyond expectation. Opulent yet restrained, these wines are traditionally made. Wild-fermented, and matured in new French oak before classification. Susan & Michael’s intent is to capture the most elegant, expressive fruit from each vintage, creating wines of structure, finesse, and immediacy.

Peyton’s Mourvèdre Grenache Rosé 2025 Magnum
The Limited Edition wines mark particular chapters in our winemaking journey — wines created to capture a moment, a season, or a story that may come again, or may never be repeated.
This Mourvèdre and Grenache blend is drawn from the Sonntag Estate Family Vineyards set amid the gums-covered hilltop of the Stone Well sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Elegant and quietly structured, with depth, fine tannin and a savoury line of texture. Blood orange, bergamot and gentle spice carry through the palate, finishing fresh, dry and composed. Beautiful on release, with freshness and immediacy, yet structured to age gracefully. Crafted to be shared with friends and special celebrations.
Reviews
Yelland & Papps ‘Single Vineyard’ Barossa Valley Roussanne 2022
“Too many people view the Barossa Valley as being suitable only for the production of serious, monolithic reds. What this beautifully elegant and precise Roussanne demonstrates is the shamefully limiting nature of any such perspective.”

“I’ve had a lot of Grenache in my time, and I must say, this Yelland & Papps Limited Cuvée sits on top of the pile. Wow! What an incredible, precise and insatiably delicate release this is. Just wow! A sublime expression of Barossa Valley Grenache.”
