GEN Chardonnay

Made with 100% certified organic grapes, Yalumba GEN is Yalumba's organic collection representing the winery's committment to "generate good." GEN exemplifies Yalumba' s commitment for betterment and embodies the winery's determination to create a better future for future generations. The collection encompasses more than 172 years of sustainable practices, and is crafted with 100% certified organic grapes and minimal intervention.

All Yalumba GEN wines are Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA) certified, and 100% of the wastewater is treated onsite and returned to the vineyards through irrigation. Native salt bushes are planted between the vines to preserve the soil, and for every hectare of vineyard Yalumba owns, the winery has planted at least one hectare of native vegetation to promote natural biodiversity. The labels for Yalumba GEN are made from post-consumer waste and FSC-certified paper.

The icon in the center of the label represents Yalumba's sustainable journey; an understanding that actions today have far reaching effects into the future.

Yalumba GEN Organic Chardonnay showcases true varietal flavors and is made in a riper and richer style without oak.

Wine Production

Made with 100% certified organic grapes and 100% vegan, Yalumba GEN is made without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides in the vineyard. With very few additions, the wine goes through wild fermentation, using only the natural yeasts present in the vineyard and on grape skins.

Tasting Notes

Peach and melon aromas mingle with hints of fennel and pineapple. This lovely mix of aromas is mirrored in the flavors and joined by a rich, creamy mid-palate and tropical acidity to finish.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with spicy mussels and soba noodles or lentil, sweet potato, and chickpea stew.
