Awards, Ratings & Reviews
97/100 — Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: May 2025
“22 was a cool year that produced some reticent but excellent grenache, while shiraz seemed to sail through untroubled… It needs a little time to be its best, but it’s a superb release.”
97/100 — Huon Hooke, The Real Review · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: May 2025
“Deep, bright purple colour leads into a slightly subdued but rich nose of dark and red fruits… remarkably more-ish finish—it drinks so well now, yet the wine is destined for a long future.”
96/100 — Angus Hughson, Vinous · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: April 2025
“The expressive 2022 Shiraz Ironheart is rich yet measured with a powerfully expressive core of bloody ferrous aromas… tightening up on the long, enthralling close.”
96/100 — Andrew Graham, Wine Pilot · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: June 2025
“This has a dramatic sensibility – it’s deep and dark with excellent restraint and control… kaleidoscopic complexity makes for a wine of incontrovertible brilliance.”
95/100 — Shanteh Wale, Australian Wine Review · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: September 2025
“It’s a powerful, bitter, withering and deeply concentrated wine… sandy tannins that fill your mouth in all the right ways.”
About This Wine
Ironheart is the flagship Shiraz from Yangarra’s single-vineyard estate in Blewitt Springs, at the northern edge of McLaren Vale. The vineyard’s northern aspect, higher elevation and sandy ironstone soils contribute to concentration and finesse.
The 2022 season was slightly cooler than 2021, with favourable winter rains and a cool ripening period through late January to March. Yields were balanced, delivering fruit with intensity, freshness and natural acidity.
Fruit was hand-picked on 24 March 2022, with 25% whole bunches. Fermentation occurred in open fermenters with approximately 21 days on skins using wild yeast. The wine was matured for a total of 19 months in French oak puncheons and then further matured in Austrian and French oak foudre. Bottled November 2023. Certified Organic and Biodynamic.
