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.

Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Roussanne

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.”
