2019 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
A cool winter with lighter than average rainfall. Mild,
dry weather through the growing season produced
grapes with great flavour and concentration. Summer
was full of sunshine and dry weather to ripen the
grapes. The resulting wine is a wonderfully refined
expression of fruit vibrancy, ripeness and generosity.
 

TERROIR/PROVENANCE/REGION
The Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from four
vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The diversity of our
vineyard selection provides the rich, lifted Cabernet
Sauvignon aromatics and palate structure for which
The Signature is renowned. The Shiraz comes from
vineyards of varying age, with the oldest planted in
1925. These blocks are of sandy loam, featuring yellow
sand and ochre clay over red clay. The combination
of these Barossa Valley blocks provides a Shiraz with
sweetness, fullness, depth and layers of complexity.
 

FOOD PAIRING
Beef brisket cooked low and slow then charred,
accompanied by baby cos lettuce, mustard dressing and
white onion, plus roasted beetroots and smoked honey.
Black bean pasta with roasted carrots and fennel.
