Yalumba ‘Y Series’ South Australia 2021 (Case-Only)

$110.00

The Yalumba estate in Australia is easily one of the most iconic wineries in all of Australia, if not the Southern Hemisphere. They’re a family-owned winery that’s been around since the mid 1800s. They’ve long since established themselves as THE major player in a wine region that wouldn’t be ready for the international stage until nearly a century later.

During that time, Yalumba also led the way by embracing natural terroir to craft wines with purpose and unique character. Without that edge, the family would never have grown into the force they are today.

If you’ve never tried any of these wines, I absolutely implore you to do so. They deserve your time and attention, and they deserve to be enjoyed all spring and summer long.

I tasted the Yalumba ‘Y Series’ a few weeks ago and was left stunned. The wine was fantastic – a high-toned beauty with a super fruity and tropical nose that leads to citrus and stone fruit, amazing natural acidity, and even a streak of minerality that dazzles the palate.

Despite being Yalumba’s entry level Viognier, this is one of its most delicious white offerings. Highly aromatic, it wafts a perfume of honeysuckle, orchard blossom and fuzzy peach skin. The palate is more viscous than the nose implies, but there’s enough acidity to keep it fresh. Peach and lemon flavors linger on the finish. Drink with Thai curry or a similarly bold Southeast Asian dish.

91 Points, James Suckling
This has bright, ripe peach and apricot aromas with bright, floral perfume. There’s a very pure, ripe-apricot core to the palate and smoothly fleshy texture. Works well. Drink now. Screw cap.

90 Points, Vinous
Limpid straw-yellow. Sharply defined citrus and pit fruit aromas pick up floral and spice accents with air. Juicy and light on its feet, offering sappy white peach, tangerine and melon flavors that deepen slowly through the back half. Finishes long and silky, with lingering floral and spicy ginger notes.
