Yalumba Selection Vegan Friendly Wines

Y Series Shiraz Viognier -Luscious and exotic aromas of boysenberry, Turkish delight, vanilla bean and violets. The medium bodied palate is framed by flavours of sweet Turkish delight and violets, while soft tannins provide a perfect complement to the succulent finish, which shows the synergy between these two varieties.

The Shiraz grapes selected for this wine are those which display the most perfumed and aromatic profile that compliments the fragrance of Viognier. Everything is done to preserve this aroma: cool fermentation, the addition of Viognier (including as many whole berries as possible) and no oak ageing are just some of the processes that go into the making of this wine. These combine to produce a wine that is bright, aromatic and exotic

Enjoy with duck and pork terrine or a red lentil curry with sweet potato, spinach and chick peas.

The Shiraz Viognier depicts the horse, a symbol of our past when they were the transport and tractor of Yalumba. Nowadays, we enjoy a day at the races watching magnificent thoroughbreds cross the finish line carrying our colours and money!

Y Series Shiraz Viognier – a great value for money wine from one of Australia’s most famous producers

Y Series Unwooded Chardonnay

A refreshing, lip smacking Chardonnay. Nature does the work for us and guides this wine’s evolution. With minimal winemaker intervention and no oak influence, this Chardonnay is pure and fresh, with subtle complexity from the 100% wild yeast fermentation.

Light straw with green hues the Yalumba Y Series Unwooded Chardonnay has fresh aromas of pineapple, quince and paw paw with floral spices. A rich, yet mineral palate complemented by fresh tropical fruit that finishes with fresh grapefruit acidity.

The Y Series Chardonnay grapes were picked across the flavour spectrum, from lively citrus flavours such as lemons and limes to peach and tropical fruits. We picked in this way to ensure that when blended, the wine was balanced with flavour and natural acidity. Pressed straight to fermentation, the juice was managed using a “hands off” approach. Wild yeasts initiated and completed fermentation and once finished the wine was left on
lees to build complexity.

Pale straw with green hues. The aromatics show paw paw and mango with blossom notes and sweet spice. The wine has a savoury edge with flinty notes from the wild ferment. The palate is fine and creamy with a touch of nuttiness, evolving with zingy citrus notes, fresh mango and cream. A refreshing, lip smacking acidity gives this wine lovely length and the finish is savoury and textural.
Try with pan fried haloumi with lemon and parsley, or chickpea, zucchini and carrot fritters with a green mango salad

Y Series Unwooded Chardonnay

Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright, medium to deep crimson in colour, opening with violets, sea spray and fresh Mediterranean herbs. There is a lovely hit of blueberry, a hint of black tea and the quintessential Australian note of dried eucalypt. When you first try the wine, there is an initial burst of fresh fruit sweetness, much like blackcurrant pastilles. This sweetness is balanced beautifully with savoury notes of fresh herbs and a lovely acid that compliments the blueberry Danish opulence. The wine is typically structural with focused, yet friendly tannins. This is a fresh and vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon. A lovely match with traditional or vegetarian homemade lasagne..

Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon – great wine from a great winery

Yalumba Y Series Riesling is part of the Yalumba Y Series of quality wines salutes our proud history of viticulture and winemaking in South Australia. Significantly, the individual icons on each label reflect the labours, inventive thinking and aspirations of all at Yalumba. The Riesling depicts the olive tree. It is said that where grapes thrive and prosper so too do the olive trees. When you consider the grape growing regions of South Australia, this adage is very true. 

Palate: Great fruit weight and creaminess with overriding flavours of Meyer lemons and a moreish finish.

The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night to help retain the lovely aromatics that Riesling is famous for. They were then crushed into a skin contact vessel for 45 minutes to increase flavour. The free run juice was then drained from the skins, with some light pressings to a tank for wild fermentation. After minimal winemaking intervention, the wine was stabilised and filtered, ready for bottling
 Apple blossom, musk, orange sherbet and fresh cut pear. Palate: Great fruit weight and creaminess with overriding flavours of Meyer lemons and a moreish finish.

The Merlot depicts a winery dog. It could be a Flash, a Nugget or an Archie type dog. With its wet nose, soft fur and dazzling, clear eyes, the dog is a reminder of loyal and long term relationships, a hallmark of the Yalumba culture.

The summer months were warm with some rain events; these rains helped give the vines a great start and allowed them to access sub-soil moisture into summer. The wines from which Yalumba Y Series Merlot fruit is sourced were strong and healthy, producing grapes with focused flavour and excellent quality and structure. The grapes were fermented in static and rotary fermenters. Warm temperatures at the onset of fermentation and also three to five days post ferment maceration has helped extract soft fleshy tannins and build wine structure.

The wine is deep crimson.

Aroma: Cedar and blackcurrants greet the drinker; intense dark fruits with Indian style spices and cracked peppercorn.

Palate: The palate shows briar and red fruits such as cherry and plum upfront and leads into a soft and velvety middle palate. This merlot is truly varietal and generous.

Enjoy with: Vegetarian korma.

Yalumba Y Series Merlot

Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier

Yalumba has pioneered the growing and making of Viognier in Australia since 1980. We have over 30 years of viticultural and winemaking experience working with this alluring variety.

Pure aromas are reminiscent of fresh apricots, lifted ginger, saffron and fresh white flowers. The palate is long, rich and luscious, with intense and expressive stone fruit flavours and hints of orange peel, finishing with an alluring freshness. This wine will continue to grow and develop in the bottle, firstly showing enhanced apricots and spice, then after a couple of years developing honey flavours and toast complexity. A wonderful food wine that complements spiced dishes. Try it with Moroccan tajine and spiced cous cous or pork dumplings with ginger and chilli oil dipping sauce.

170 years ago, a plan was put in motion. Rooted in history and rich tales of perseverance, Samuel’s Collection celebrates Yalumba’s founder Samuel Smith, his spirit of embracing provenance and giving back to the land.
The Eden Valley Viognier is our pure expression of the variety. It’s full of flavour and characters, but finishes with a freshness.
