Yalumba 'Y' Series Shiraz 2021 (Australia)

Description

• Dark plum
• Black Forest cake
• Soft & supple
• Silky tannins

"Wonderfully fruited and expressed with dark plum, violet, hazelnut and warm spice aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate delivering succulent fruit intensity with supple texture and silky tannins. Medium-full-bodied and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2023

Deep crimson purple in colour. A cascade of wild blackberries, chocolate coated cherries and Black Forest cake aromas with hints of Indian spices. The Y Series Shiraz is a glorious mouthful of South Australia with layers of ripe blackberries and Christmas cake, surrounded by soft, juicy, fully ripe tannins.

Vintage 2021 has produced Shiraz grapes of balance, style and exceptional varietal characteristics. Good spring rains enabled the vines to grow healthy canopies. Summer was warm to mild with cool nights, great for the development of pristine aromatics and flavours.

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. At Yalumba, we believe that one good wine leads to another. Y Series was created with that belief in mind. We look forward to sharing our love of wine with you as you explore the Y Series.

Food Pairing: A wine that pairs well with tacos, burritos and nachos.
