Yalumba Organic Shiraz

Yalumba Organic Shiraz US Label

Wine Description

Made with organic South Australian grapes, this wine showcases the true varietal flavors and unique sites around South Australia in which the fruit is grown. No oak is used and the wine goes through natural wild fermentation as well as wild malolactic fermentation. Very few additions are made to the wine – only what’s required to preserve the natural flavors.

Acclaim
“Made with organic grapes. Earthy, grapey with violets. Ripe, rich blueberry and plum fruit on the palate. Good.”
— Winston - Salem Journal, Mar 2021
“Tangy berry and plum notes have a touch of black licorice, chai and dried sage flavors. This is dense and thickly tannic, with freshly cracked black pepper notes emerging on the finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Aug 2020
