Wine Production
Grapes arrive during the cool of the night, they are gently crushed into tank and given 12 hours skin maceration prior to draining and pressing. Wild yeasts then initiate and complete fermentation. Once complete, the wine is left on its lees and given regular bâtonage to build complexity until blending.
All Y Series wines are made with wild fermentation and the winemakers take a minimalistic approach with human intervention. The resulting wines are natural, vegan, gluten free and met by complex flavors that represent Yalumba's rich history of winemaking.
