YALUMBA THE Y SERIES SHIRAZ / VIOGNIER 2021

Gold Medal – New Zealand International Wine Show 2024

Yalumba have a fine reputation for delivering wines of exceptional value and their Y Series Shiraz Viognier reinforces that even further. 97% Shiraz but there is 3% of the white grape Viognier in the blend to add colour, depth and fragrance. Being smooth, delicious and very cheap are only three of the many boxes that this wine ticks. A perfect, easy to enjoy red.

Luscious aromas of violets, apricot and marzipan with hints of white pepper and freshly picked herbs. Flavours of raspberry and redcurrent frame the well balanced palate which shows excellent structure, lovely light tannins and a persistent finish."

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Excellent colour and hues with a bouquet of freshness and varietal core of violets, blackcurrant and ripe red berry fruits. Juicy, fleshy and fruity on the palate with fine tannins and distinctive acid line. Flavours of blackcurrant and plum, some peppery spices and crumbled stone soil deliver a wine of readiness and flavours. Excellent mouthfeel and finish with best drinking from 2023 through 2028+."

91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Sweetly fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows dark plum, raspberry, mixed spice and nutmeg aromas, followed by a silky-smooth palate offering textured mouthfeel with rounded tannins. Fruit forward and friendly, making it delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2028."
