Yalumba Y Series Shiraz 2023
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
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.
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.
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.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Deep crimson purple in color. Cascading aromas of wild blackberries, ripe blueberries and
Black Forest cake are framed by hints of Indian spices. Rich and ripe, this Y Series Shiraz is a
glorious mouthful of South Australia with layers of ripe blackberries and Christmas cake on the
palate, enveloped in soft, juicy, fully ripe tannins.
F O O D P A I R I N G
This wine drinks perfectly with red braised pork belly, or falafel wraps with hummus, tomato,
cucumber, and taboule.
