Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"A partnership of cooler Eden Valley Shiraz co-fermented with a splash of Viognier offers a wine of gentle fragrance embracing the spicy character of Shiraz. Hand picked. Hand crafted.
Shiraz: Two vineyards stood out for their pristine style and elegance. Located on the southern edge of Eden Valley township, the old block in the Bartholomaeus family vineyard, affectionally known as “Barty’s block”, is of unknown clones planted in 1920 on its own roots. Located in the Eden Valley area known as Wilton, the Scott Thorn Clifton Park Shiraz vineyard, was planted in 1854. Viognier: Located on the northern edge of the Yalumba winery, Yalumba Short’s vineyard was planted in 1998, with the 1968 Montpellier clone.
Medium to deep red/purple in colour. Complex and inviting aromas of red florals, rose, violets and fine, graphite-like minerality over redcurrant and dark cherry with spices that reveal the subtle hints of whole bunch ferment. The palate is medium weighted with subtle hints of floral Viognier lurking in the mid-palate surrounded by deeper, dark fruit notes. A delicious wine that showcases a fine, firm line of tannin which shapes the long finish. Matured for 15 months in one year and older French oak puncheons and hogsheads."
92/100 Dave Brookes, James Halliday's Wine Companion (2022 Vintage)
"Magenta-flecked crimson. Abundant ripe plum and berry fruits cut with hints of fine spice, jasmine, berry cream, a glimpse of black pepper and some roasting meats, softly spoken vanillin oak and bay leaf. Kind of Barossa with a European accent; earthy, almost granitic tannin structure, layered spice and a pleasing depth of fruit, finishing persistent and pure."

Yalumba, Australia's oldest family-owned winery, was founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith in Angaston, South Australia.

The winery has been a significant part of Australian wine history, known for its iconic blends like Cabernet and Shiraz, and acclaimed wines such as The Signature and The Caley.
