The Yalumba Y Series is a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals, each crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.

The Yalumba Y-Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep magenta in colour with a crimson hue. Dark cherries and plums are among the rich, ripe, red and purple fruits with a lovely balance of savoury, dried herb aromas. The palate is sweet fruited and full with distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon tannins. Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and friendly wine that shows why Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s best known and enjoyed varieties. A lovely match for spaghetti and meatballs or mushroom and spinach lasagna.

Established in 1849, Yalumba is Australia’s most historic family owned wine company. For six generations, Yalumba has remained fiercely independent and extremely progressive through the generational ownership by the Hill-Smith family. Yalumba’s longevity and success is a result of patience, collaboration and progressive thinking. There is foresight to embrace the natural terroir to craft wines with individual character and a sense of purpose, a spirit to reinvest in the land upon which it operates and knowledge to behave as a leader in the industry. It is committed to sharing stories of provenance gathered over more than 168 years of history of family winemaking.

Barossa is arguably the single most famous wine region in Australia. Barossa includes both Barossa Valley and Eden Valley, making it one of the only areas in Australia to have neighbouring warm and cool climate growing conditions. Yalumba is privileged to have access to some of the oldest vineyards in the world in Barossa Valley, including 1889 bush vine Grenache and 1908 Shiraz. At the inner sanctum of Coonawarra, on the prized terra rossa soil, lies Yalumba’s Coonawarra estate, The Menzies Vineyard. Comprised predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon vines, this single vineyard is committed to growing premium quality fruit reflecting distinctive varietal characters of the region. Wrattonbully’s cool climate, plentiful high quality artesian water and well drained terra rossa soils led wine companies to plant large areas of mainly red grape varieties.
