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.

Deep crimson in colour. A luscious and exotic mix of rose, ripe red cherries and boysenberry with hints of white pepper and violets. The full-bodied palate is framed by flavours of rosewater and chocolate with boysenberry and cherry. Plush, velvety tannins provide the perfect complement to the sweet fruit and lingering finish, showing the wonderful synergy between Shiraz and Viognier.”
90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2025 (2022 Vintage)
“A bright, fruity and lively bouquet with scents of raspberries and plums, black currant and violets. Gently firm as the wine touches the palate, fine tannins and medium+ acid line frame flavours that reflect the bouquet offering a balanced and well made wine ready to drink. Ideal drinking window from day of purchase through 2029.”
93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, January 2025 (2022 Vintage)
“It’s beautifully ripe and fragrant on the nose, showing Black Doris plum, blueberry, rich floral, subtle spice, and hazelnut aromas. The palate is equally appealing with excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, splendidly supported by silky texture and fine tannins, making it flavoursome and highly enjoyable”
