  • 2015 The Virgilius Viognier, YalumbaWhite Wine

    2015 The Virgilius Viognier, Yalumba

    £3750

    Yalumba, the pioneer of Viognier in Australia, has devoted 20 years to the growing and making of this rare and exotic Rhone variety.   The Virgilius is Yalumba’s most distinguished Viognier – a wine that shows power with restraint. As Yalumba’s most premium and enchanting white wine, it is loved by wine lovers looking for something beyond the more conventional offering.

    The 2015 Virgilius Viognier opens with intense aromas of early season just-picked apricots, cardamom and fresh ginger. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with mineral texture and complex apricots and cashew nut savouriness. The trademark Viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine. It is complex while at the same time showing purity and restraint that will unwind slowly in the glass to begin a sensory journey.

    At its best with food, The Virgilius complements a wide range of flavors, particularly dishes with spice and richness.

  • 2013 The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon, YalumbaRed Wine

    2013 The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon, Yalumba

    £3900

    Since 1987, the Hill-Smith family has counted itself amongst those fortunate enough to produce an estate-grown Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. To own a vineyard upon that famous terra rossa soil over limestone is the holy grail of all Cabernet Sauvignon purists. Experimentation, innovation, minimalist intervention and small-batch winemaking has resulted in The Menzies’ reputation as one of the best wines of its type to emerge from the region – a wine of longevity, elegance and structure.

    The 2013 Menzies bouquet leads with violet and lilac floral notes to the tangy counterpoint of seaspray and pepper. The palate is rich and powerful; red fruits and dark chocolate on a robust tannin framework. The finish is long, complex and well worth savouring.

    The Vineyard

    The Menzies is in the heart of Coonawarra terra rossa country. The vineyard site is reasonably level, with the defining terroir difference coming from the soils. Our soil is red sandy loam over limestone, which is classic Cabernet Sauvignon dirt. Most of the vines for Yalumba The Menzies were planted in 1985 and are trellised tall with wide rows. Bunches are usually small with small berries giving a concentration that favours the creation of full bodied reds.

  • 2013 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, YalumbaRed Wine

    2013 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, Yalumba

    £3950

    Launched in 1962, The Signature is a rich, complex and generous 100% Barossa Cabernet & Shiraz blend that is uniquely Australian – a contract between the world’s wine lovers and Yalumba’s winemakers, signed with the name of a true believer. The Signature is a celebration of wine and people – more than 50 vintages, 50 names and 50 stories – encapsulated in one historic Cabernet & Shiraz.

    This is the 55th iteration of The Signature – a superb 2013 vintage that honours Andrew Murphy.  It has outstanding colour in the glass displaying a saturated inky black core with a very deep dark purple black hue.  Aromas of perfectly ripened blackcurrant mingle with hints of liquorice and blackberries over a backdrop of subtle tobacco, earthy vanillin cedar and spice.   The palate is awash with blackcurrant fruit that sits alongside inky blackberry and traces of liquorice tightly wrapped up in a sturdy firmly built structure that bodes well for long term cellaring. Nuances of earthy vanillin cedar, faint tobacco and spice are also present on the back palate. Firm yet refined tannins. Excellent depth of fruit with a long ripe blackcurrant, inky blackberry, liquorice, earthy vanillin cedar and spice aftertaste.

  • 2012 ‘The Caley’ Cabernet & Shiraz, Yalumba Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    2012 ‘The Caley’ Cabernet & Shiraz, Yalumba

    £22400

    This is the first vintage of Yalumba’s Cabernet/Shiraz-based flagship wine, The Caley.  Named after Fred Caley Smith, grandson of Yalumba founder Samuel Smith, who was a horticulturist that had a profound impact on the development of Yalumba’s vineyards. In the early 1890’s he spent 18 months trekking across the USA, Britain, Europe, the Middle East, India and Sri Lanka, observing and reporting on scientific and horticultural developments. His detailed letters, sent home every few days, underpinned the way the vineyards were managed and laid the foundations of sustainable viticulture at Yalumba today.

    At the time of blending, the winemaking team made the following tasting notes … Deep garnet red in colour, fruit is at the core of the bouquet, all red and black currants – overlaid with savoury herbs, green spices, cedar and pipe tobacco. The palate is of sophisticated precision with a refined line. Long and textured it captures the concentrated flavours and presents them with a silken grace. Under all that supple, fleshy muscle, the wine has a strong spine, structured to last and last.

    The Caley has been sourced from three outstanding vineyards of the Coonawarra and Barossa regions. The Ming D block of the Yalumba Coonawarra vineyard provides 52% of the Cabernet Sauvignon of the blend. This 2.7ha plot was planted in 1992 with two clones of Cabernet Sauvignon selected for structure and depth of flavour. This block differs from the ubiquitous Coonawarra terroir, with a higher content of clay than the other blocks on The Menzies Estate. The Shiraz is sourced from the Burgemeister “Linke Block” between Nuriootpa and Angaston. Planted in 1901, these Shiraz vines run east-west and are on a single wire trellis. The soil is a red-brown earth in the Light Pass loamy fine sand family. There is also a component that comes from the 1971 Yalumba Horseshoe Block in Eden Valley.
