Yalumba

Organic Shiraz

Made with organic South Australian grapes, this wine showcases the true varietal flavors and unique sites around South Australia in which the fruit is grown. No oak is used and the wine goes through natural wild fermentation as well as wild malolactic fermentation. Very few additions are made to the wine – only what’s required to preserve the natural flavors.

Wine Production

Made with organic winemaking techniques with very little winemaking intervention.

Tasting Notes

A deep crimson wine displaying aromas of purple flowers such as violets and lavender combined with blueberries, plums and forest floor. These flavors are continued on the palate, joined by a hint of allspice and mulberry. A medium bodied wine with plush soft tannins and a bright, juicy persistent finish.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with suckling pig and an apple and walnut salad or a Swiss mushroom burger with caramelised onion.
