Bright crimson in colour, there are luscious aromas of raspberries, sour cherries and Turkish delight, with hints of white pepper. The medium bodied palate is framed by flavours of sweet Turkish delight, cherries and boysenberry. Soft tannins provide a perfect complement to the ripe cherry finish which shows the synergy between these two varieties.

The grapes selected for this wine are those which display the most perfumed and aromatic characteristics of Shiraz that complement the fragrance of Viognier. Everything is done to preserve this aroma: cool fermentation, the addition of Viognier (including as many whole berries as possible) and no oak ageing. These combine to produce a wine that is bright, aromatic and exotic.

Yalumba's belief is that one good wine leads to another, which the Y Series was created with that in mind. This series represents a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals. Each authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia's most celebrated wine regions.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with slow roasted lamb served with potatoes, yogurt and pomegranate salad or Sichuan mapo tofu.
