Description
"Youthfully charming and fragrant, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, cherry, floral and mixed spice aromas with a touch of dried herb notes. The palate delivers lovely weight and roundness, elegantly framed by fine tannins, finishing long and smooth. Up front and very easy to enjoy. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2019
Vibrant crimson in the glass with a magenta hue. Enticing Merlot aromas burst from the glass with strong notes of freshly picked plum and a lovely cool mint lift. This is an expressive, fresh and vivacious wine, with a generous, roud and succulent palate. This mid palate shows lovely synergy with a burst of fruit, hints of exotic spices and tannins that glide through to the fresh and lively finish.
The Yalumba 'Y Series' was created with the belief in mind that one good wine leads to another. The Y Series is a collection of iconic classics and exciting
new varietals, each authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.
The 2018 Y Series Merlot is fermented using only wild yeast found in the vineyard and winery. Stylistically the wine has moved towards a youthful style. The wine was fermented in both static and rotary fermenters by wild yeast with cool to warm ferment temperatures enabling us to maintain the fruit friendly, supple and youthful wine that is being sought, which should express true ‘Merlosity’.
