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.
