ABOUT THIS WINE

The Y Series is a collection of wines crafted to authentically express the fruit from South Australia's celebrated wine regions, embodying Yalumba's belief that one good wine leads to another.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Yalumba The Y Series Shiraz Viognier 2021 is produced using 100% wild fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. The grapes are gently pressed as whole clusters. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks. The harvest for this vintage took place in March and April of 2021. Yalumba is known for its commitment to sustainability and operates the Southern Hemisphere's only fully operational cooperage, though this specific wine does not see oak aging.
