2016 Yalumba Organic Riverland Shiraz...
Today's hottest wine deals
Winemaking / Viticulture: The grapes for this wine are sourced from four family owned, organically certified vineyards. The Carypides family vineyard located at Virginia in the Adelaide Plains, the Barich family vineyard on the Murray River at Loxton, the Palena family vineyards near Barmera in the Riverland, and the Strachan family vineyard in McLaren Vale.
Vintage Conditions: The 2016 growing season started well with a warm and dry spring, December and January. Cool nights during this period and rain at the end of January helped freshen up the vines before a return to warm weather in February, which led to even and healthy ripening of the Shiraz grapes.
Winemaker’s Comments: Crimson with violet hues, this wine exhibits aromas of spiced plums and peppercorns with a savoury fruit cake finish. The palate is a mix of violets and spice with hints of liquorice, lingering plums and mulberries. This is a fruit driven, medium bodied wine with fine, soft tannins and a savoury, persistent finish.
Enjoy with suckling pig and an apple and walnut salad. Vegan friendly.
Alc/vol: 14.1%
A properly-certified organic young Shiraz with plenty of vibrant and juicy flavour – some bright red fruit and plum, really lively and soft, sweeping playful tannins and simple, direct fleshy palate shape.

Good red wine. Not big or impressive, but ripe and flavoursome, black-fruited and well weighted. There are no real signs of oak flavour, it just tastes like a big handful of squished dark berries, fresh and pure. It’s a great style of wine.The Big Red Wine Book, 2010/2011 2010

There's some reductive complexity across the top of this organic shiraz that is more often seen in cool-climate styles - it works a treat. The fruit sits in an earthy plum and berry style, all nicely lifted; the palate's juicy and lively with plenty of fine tannin and drinkable appeal. For the money, it's hard to beat!The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2010 2009
It needs some air but it then quaffs very nicely. Three cheers for Yalumba – they’ve delivered exactly what (a segment of) the market wants. Cherries and blackberries with a lick of spice. No real oak to speak of and medium-bodied at its deepest point. Grown smart and tastes smart. You feel good drinking it.The Big Red Wine Bood 2010/2011 2010
