Medium bodied, deep crimson red with flavours of dark cherry and spiced fruit cake. The tannins are fine and mouth coating and the finish is plush and round showing the synergy of blending these two varieties.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Excellent colour and hues with a bouquet of freshness and varietal core of violets, blackcurrant and ripe red berry fruits. Juicy, fleshy and fruity on the palate with fine tannins and distinctive acid line. Flavours of blackcurrant and plum, some peppery spices and crumbled stone soil deliver a wine of readiness and flavours. Excellent mouthfeel and finish with best drinking from 2023 through 2028+”92/100 points, Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023″Strawberry jam, spiced plum and vanilla extract precede a palate that’s cinched in peppery, powerful tannins that are somewhat drying. Fresh red fruit lends some juiciness and freshness”87/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST, December 2023Also awarded “Gold Medal” at the New Zealand International Wine Show, 2024Food Match: Slow-cooked lamb shanks, duck with plum sauce, smoky cured meats, mushroom stroganoff, aged CheddarYalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier, South Australia, 2021</p>
