Yalumba Y Series Shiraz

Wine Description

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 Y Series Shiraz is a rich and ripe red wine with juicy red fruits, a hint of spice and smooth tannins. This is a highly drinkable wine.

“Wild berry, anise-infused plum and black cherry flavors are fleshy and juicy, with notes of chocolate-covered espresso bean and fresh rosemary lingering on the finish.”

Wine Production

This 100% Shriaz wine is made by leaving the juice 1-3 days on its skins before wild yeast start to ferment 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.

About the Vineyard

The grapes for this Shiraz are sourced from multiple vineyards throughout South Australia. A dry, cool winter with good to moderate rainfall produced full Shiraz canopies setting the vines up well for ripening of the grapes. Summer was full of sunshine and dry weather, resulting in good flavour and tannin accumulation in our Shiraz grapes.
