Why Y Series Lighter?

Since 2002, the Hill-Smith Family has pushed the boundaries of sustainable winemaking, crafting low-impact but deeply impactful wines.

As Y Series was established with a vision of diversity and inclusivity, Y Series Lighter is a natural expansion of the collection so there’s always a Y for You.

To preserve the full experience of a delicious glass of wine with lower alcohol content, the winemakers use reverse osmosis, a process that is gentle on the wine and better retains its body.
