The Story of Yangarra Estate
Yangarra, meaning “from the earth” in the local Indigenous Kaurna language, is a winery dedicated to minimal intervention winemaking and sustainable viticulture. The estate is owned by the renowned Jackson Family Wines and managed by winemaker Peter Fraser, who has played a crucial role in elevating McLaren Vale’s reputation for Grenache and Rhône varieties.

No synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or artificial additives are used, ensuring a pure expression of terroir in every bottle.
