Wine Description

There is something appealing about the Yalumba Y Series Pinot Grigio to everyone. It could be it’s consistency year after year – which could also account for it being one of the top selling Pinot Grigios in Australia.


The vine and tendrils on the label represent our vineyard practices – a well spread, airy canopy produces healthy, flavorsome grapes.
 

At Yalumba we believe that one good wine leads to another. The Y Series was created with that belief in mind.  The Y Series is a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals. Each authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions. We look forward to sharing our love of wine with you as you explore the Y Series.

Acclaim
“This is Pinot Grigio 2.0 – bright, engaging, smartly made and somehow both exuberant in feel but restrained in character. Fresh pear and a hint of apple blossom is as extravagant as it gets. Dry, crunchy, fresh and easy drinking. Pulled pork buns, here we come…”
— Decanter, Sep 2020

Wine Production

Careful hand-picking allowed the grapes to be picked at optimal ripeness. Whole bunch pressing was used to minimize color and tannin extraction from the pink skins, followed by oxidative handling to naturally remove any remaining color. Fermentation proceeded on full solids, utilizing yeast indigenous to the vineyard. The wines were then left on their lees until blending, giving the final wine complexity and finesse.
