Select from the list below for tasting notes:
Enticing Merlot aromas burst from the glass with strong notes of freshly picked plum, purple berries and a lovely cool mint lift. This is an expressive, fresh and vivacious wine, with a generous, round and succulent palate.
TASTING NOTE
Yalumba Y Series Merlot is soft and supple, with sweet, ripe fruit flavours and a hint of liquorice or anise. Merlot is an excellent alternative to the heavier and more tannic red varieties.
The aromatics of the wine open with nashi pear, baked apple and orange blossom and finish with wild honey and feijoa.
TASTING NOTE
The palate is a succulent mix of the baked apple and feijoa with a fresh cream and poached pear mid palate, and a tight cinnamon and oatmeal finish. Lingering orange panna cotta completes the wine.
The Yalumba Y Series Pinot Grigio is vegan friendly.
The Y Series Sangiovese Rosé is made from the classic Italian variety Sangiovese, this light, bright and dry Rosé leaps from the glass with pretty floral and berry aromatics.
TASTING NOTE
Salmon pink in colour with a delicate fragrance of fresh strawberries and raspberries. Ripe red fruit flavours fill the palate with just an off-dry level of residual sugar. A perfect luncheon rose.
Yalumba has a proud history as Australia’s oldest family-owned winery and their continuing quest for quality shines through in all their wines. Fresh and bright on the nose with hints of snow pea and passionfruit. Crisp and lively on the palate with tropical fruit flavours and cleansing acidity.
TASTING NOTE
Vibrant and bursting with life and zest.
Fresh and bright on the nose with hints of snow pea and passionfruit. Crisp and lively on the palate with tropical fruit flavours and cleansing acidity.
The first noticeable aspect of this Brokenwood Chardonnay, is a beautiful green colour and lifted honeydew melon fruit.
TASTING NOTE
The finesse on both the aromas and palate comes from earlier picking dates and older, large format French oak. Some ‘bran meal’ notes, however the fruit takes centre stage with stone fruit and zesty citrus characters. A very modern Australian Chardonnay that will age perfectly.
TASTING NOTE
Aromas of honeysuckle, citrus zest and fresh strawberries from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit. Extended time on lees during secondary fermentation contributes more complex aromas of nougat and roasted nuts.
The palate is balanced with delicate fruit flavour, fine creamy texture and a refreshing natural acidity. The finish is dry and fresh with lingering flavours of citrus and nougat. Once released this wine is ready to enjoy.
