Y Series Sauvignon Blanc
Here at Yalumba we believe that one good wine leads to another. The Y Series was created with that belief in mind. The Y Series represents a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals. Each authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.
Wine Production
Grapes arrive during the cool of the night and are gently crushed to tank and given 12 hours skin maceration prior to draining and pressing. Wild yeasts then initiate and complete fermentation. When complete, the wine is left on its lees and given regular battonage to build complexity until blending. The 2016 Y Series Sauvignon Blanc is the first vintage that was fermented using only wild, or indigenous, yeasts.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw in colour, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc displays lively aromas of freshly squeezed lemons and dried herbs. These savoury and inviting notes are complemented by hints of honeysuckle and jasmine. The palate is vibrant and bursting with life and zest. It displays generosity, texture and full bodied depth. The freshness of nettles and lemon drops finish this easy drinking and enjoyable wine. A fruit driven Australian Sauvignon Blanc with great line, length and generosity of flavour.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with a citrus dressed BBQ calamari salad.
