Cherry red to garnet in colour. The nose reveals blueberry and violets, plum, vanilla and quince with hints of native flora, bay leaf and anise. Subtle, seductive and showing lovely balance between fruit and spice, the palate is true to the variety, elegant and minerally with fine tannins.

Vintage 2021 produced Merlot grapes of balance, style and exceptional varietal characteristics. Good winter and spring rains enabled the vines to grow healthy canopies. Summer was warm to mild with cool nights that led to the development of fabulous colour, pristine aromatics and flavours with good natural acidity.

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

Food Pairing: Enjoy with beef carpaccio and parmesan or kale and pine nut stir-fry, both served with grilled sourdough bread.
