Yalumba 'Y' Series Merlot 2019 (Australia)

Description

• Ripe fig 
• Strawberry
• Mint 
• Fresh finish

"Bright and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows sweet plum, raspberry, floral, almond and subtle spice notes, followed by a fruit-expressive palate that's smooth and fleshy. It's delightfully appealing with vibrant fruit flavours. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2020

Medium crimson in colour with a purple hue. Strong notes of fresh, ripe figs, strawberries and boysenberries burst from the glass combined with an attractive cool mint lift. The palate is generous, round and succulent. Soft tannins glide over the mid palate which shows lovely synergy with a burst of fruit and hints of exotic spices. This is an expressive, fresh and vivacious Merlot.

At Yalumba we believe that one good wine leads to another. The Y Series was created with that belief in mind.
The Y Series is a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals. Each wine is authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.
We look forward to sharing our love of wine with you as you explore the Y Series.

The Y Series Merlot is fermented using only wild yeast found in the vineyard and winery. The wine was fermented in both static and rotary fermenters with cool to warm ferment temperatures. This enabled us to maintain a fruit friendly, supple and youthful wine with classic Merlot flavours.

Food Pairing: Perfect with a slow cooked cassoulet or chickpea, garlic, spinach and red onion pasta.
