Yalumba 'Y' Series Merlot 2022 (Australia)

Description

Blueberry, Floral, Spice

"This wine over delivers for the RRP with a core of ripe dark red plums and blackberry flavours, just the right measure of tannins and plenty of acidity for drive and freshness. There’s a stony baked earth quality diverting back to the fruit leading to a moderate finish. best from day of purchase through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2025

Medium crimson in colour with a purple hue. The wine bursts from the glass with aromatic notes of fresh, ripe figs, strawberries and boysenberries, coupled with a lovely cool mint lift, creating an expressive, fresh and vivacious Merlot. The palate is generous, round and succulent with hints of exotic spices. The mid-palate shows beautiful balance with a burst of fruit and tannins to finish fresh and lively.

Good late winter and early spring rainfall replenished the soils, giving the vines plenty of available water to start the growing season. A mild, wet spring kept moisture levels up to the growing vines. Summer and autumn were mild and dry which was ideal for ripening and allowed us to harvest the grapes at the perfect ripeness.
