Yalumba is extremely fortunate to have access to some of the oldest Grenache vines in the Barossa, sourcing fruit for this wine from vines planted betweem 1898 and 1973. The nose is saturated with fragrant scents of plums and cherries, and softly overripe raspberries, while the palate shows definition and concetration in its structure. Richly textured and roundly supple, the plumpness of the palate is held together with a fine frame of velvet tannins.

Dark cherry red with a crimson hue. Elegant and inviting aromas of cedar and chocolate combine beautifully with rich, ripe cassis and violets. Sublime tannins give the drinker an insight into the agebility of this wine. Excellent drinking now and it will continue to evolve and delight. Decant and enjoy with char-grilled rib eye on the bone or porcini risotto.

Winery Notes "A beautiful, deep red in colour. Perfumed and seductive with alluring floral notes, red licorice, blackcurrant and dark cherry aromas. The palate is delightfully refined and balanced with generous, dark red cherry fruit merging into ironstone tannins. This is a full-bodied wine of great balance, style and defined fruit characteristics with a long, lingering tannin profile. A very elegant Signature" Matured for 19 months in 23% new Hungarian hogsheads, French barriques and hogsheads.

Winery Notes - "Bright, fresh, and fruit-driven, this vibrant Nouveaux-style Grenache is crafted to be enjoyed in its youth. With refreshing acidity, lively fruit, and floral aromas, it's an easy-drinking wine with a touch of tannin for balance. Juicy and medium-bodied, it pairs perfectly with your favourite dumplings. Grown in the cooler, elevated northeast of McLaren Vale, this Grenache captures the essence of our single estate vineyard."

Halliday Review 95 Pts
"From Block 12 on a southeast-facing sandy ironstone outcrop; 15% whole bunches, the rest crushed; matured in French and Austrian foudre for 18 months. A very Rhône-like release this, with peppery spicing, blackberry pastille, moody blue florals, lavender, blueberry, cocoa powder and freshly ground star anise. The elegance here is admirable, with a tannin drive from front to back, and no sweet spot. A very fine release."

"From 1946-planted vines in Block 30, adjacent to the High Sands Block; destemmed, crushed and fermented in 675L ceramic eggs; pressed after about 150 days then returned to the eggs for a total of 14 months' maturation. Taut and sinewy, both a function of making and the year that was, this is a coiled spring of dried flowers, cranberry, raspberry leaf tea, cherry, pomegranate and dusty white pepper spicing. The pedigree of place, venerable vines, impeccable … more

Halliday Review 96 Pts
"A blend of 58/24/8/5/5% grenache blanc/roussanne/ grenache gris/bourboulenc/clairette. Some grenache and clairette on skins in concrete eggs for 120 days, the remainder whole-bunch pressed to egg; 59% skin contact in the final blend. Organic/biodynamic. The skin contact provides meaningful detail to this, but in a quiet way, gently tugging the palate with a pumice-like texture, shaving off overt fruitfulness and layering in savoury flavour. Dried pear, poached apple, quince, ground ginger, beeswax, lemon barely water and … more

Fruit sourced from the 1969 planted No.1 Cabernet Sauvignon, exclusively from the south west corner following a gravel band through the block.
"There is such clarity to this wine, from the exuberant colour to the masterful combination of flavours within, centred exclusively on this majestic variety. Blackberries and currants, bay leaves and lead pencil plus deep-etched cedary oak. It has a juiciness thanks to the acidity, and while it is fuller bodied, as with all YY reds, a defining feature … more

"A brilliant crimson red. In fact, a brilliant Dry Red Wine No. 2. There's a little reduction when first poured but it doesn't take long for this to reveal a complex amalgam of red and black fruits, iodine, graphite and melted, dark licorice. Fleshier and more refined and seductive than last year's version. Incredibly svelte tannins. Supremely balanced. I reckon Yarra Yering's founder, Dr Bailey Carrodus, would be chuffed with this." 99 points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

Winery Notes "Perfumed cool climate Shiraz; deliciously medium bodied with a lick of aniseed spice. Bright red and blue plum fruits bring a fresh energy to the palate and some char and spice layering in structure and complexity. As always from this block we see some cured meat and a smoke-char interest driving the back palate. Medium weighted fruit with oak just a faint seasoning."

"Dark fruits and a little bit brooding in a mysterious way. Cool climate Shiraz; deliciously medium bodied. Think charcuterie, graphite and a generous lick of aniseed spice. Blue and black plum fruits bring a fruit concentration to the palate along with some liquorice spice layering in structure and complexity. Some cured meat and a whisper of smoky-char interest driving the back palate. Medium weighted and driven by fruit purity, oak just a faint background seasoning alongside a stalk grip interest." … more
