Yelland & Papps Barossa Valley Single Vineyard Greenock Shiraz 2023
This vintage we have celebrated 20 years of winemaking, but most importantly twenty years of continual vintages with David & Angela Materne and their Greenock vineyard. 2005 – 2024
A true living story of the start of Yelland & Papps to the present, since 2005 this wine has been produced every vintage from this site nestled in the crevices of the Greenock sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Greenock Shiraz is a testament to persistence through vintage variations and winemaking. The regional hero of the Barossa Valley is undoubtedly Shiraz. Every year, this has consistency and provenance, harvested by the fourth-generation grower David Materne. This wine sits on elevage in a 3000L French Oak Vat for nineteen months prior to bottling. A Shiraz that shows the power of the Barossa, with elegance, restraint and finesse.

Elevaged for a further nineteen months in 100% French oak, 10% new French Oak, and 3000L French Oak Vat. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. Nineteenth continual release from the vineyard. 13.6% alc

A single site has always been of utmost importance to most winemakers.
A true reflection year in and year out of a single site is something we all yearn for and appreciate.
The art of winemaking comes down to the precise blending, but the art of true expression of the site comes down to the site clearly being able to express the terroir uninterrupted.
