About Ovitelli Blanc

Ovitelli Blanc — named after the ancient sheep pens (ovili) that once stood on Yangarra's estate — is the white counterpart to the celebrated Ovitelli Grenache, sourced from old-vine Grenache Blanc planted on the same historic biodynamic estate block in McLaren Vale. Yangarra Estate is one of Australia's most pioneering biodynamic producers, and their Grenache Blanc is one of the most remarkable and age-worthy white wine expressions in the country.

It represents:

• single-vineyard old-vine Grenache Blanc from Yangarra's certified biodynamic McLaren Vale estate
• the white counterpart to the legendary Ovitelli Grenache — equally profound and age-worthy
• extraordinary complexity, texture and multi-decade cellaring potential
