Y Series

Cabernet Sauvignon

Yalumba is Australia’s most historic family-owned winery. The Y Series collection combines authentic Australian winemaking practices with a vibrant approach inspired by modern flavors. While simple and contemporary at first sight, the bright labels show subtle layers when considered closely. Each varietal features a unique illustration symbolizing the relationship between the wine and nature.

The Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine true to self. Subliming this varietal, this wine gives the drinker a pure and satisfying experience. It’s a wine reflective of the best Cabernet Sauvignon growing regions in South Australia. Not weighed down by excessive oak, the fruit and sense of place can shine.

Wine Production

This juice is left to sit on its skins for 1-3 days prior to fermentation. Wild yeast then induces fermentation and this action takes place in stainless steel tanks. All Y Series wines are made with wild fermentation and the winemakers take a minimalistic approach with human intervention. The resulting wines are natural, vegan, gluten free and met by complex flavors that represent Yalumba's rich history of winemaking. 

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson in color. Lovely aromas of juicy, red plums and violets, balanced by savory Mediterranean herbs. The palate is sweet fruited and full with distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon tannins.

The Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and friendly wine that shows why Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s best known and enjoyed varieties.

Food Pairing

A lovely match for spaghetti and meatballs or mushroom and spinach lasagna.
