Buy OnlineWe sell a lot of Spanish Tempranillo wines, but it is rare for us to offer one from across the ditch. This is a delicious wee number from the Yalumba team and a bit of a surprise package. Nothing too serious just a great priced quaffing red.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The 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. The 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.
Bright crimson in colour. Alluring aromas of blueberry, black cherry, violet and tomato leaf. Silky and juicy on the palate with loads of dark berry fruit that leads to a moreish, mocha-tannin finish."
90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Aromas and flavours of cherries and plums, there’s a light layer of clay earthiness then a tobacco and herb note. Crisp and dry with flavours on the palate led by plum with a mixed berry compote profile. Fine easy tannins and plenty of acidity for texture and length. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028."
90/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"It's brightly expressed on the nose, showing sweet plum, dark cherry, olive and warm spice aromas, followed by a silky-smooth palate offering beautifully rounded mouthfeel, combined with supple texture and polished tannins, making it friendly and delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 2029."

95/100 NWWA, Judges Comments (2021 Vintage)
"Australia's oldest family-owned winery, Yalumba offers everyday Y Series wines all the way up to their ultra-premium icons, and delivers excellent value at every level. This Champion Single Variety Red is plump and fruit-forward showing Black Doris plum, olive and subtle spice nuances combined with fleshy texture and silky-smooth tannins. Tomato-based pasta is just the thing with this beauty."
