Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Red Wine from Australia - South Australia

10 Reviews

Yalumba are one of the great names of South Australian wine, and this example punches well above its weight. A deliciously generous and juicy cabernet sauvignon which is fresh but full-bodied, with a cassis-laden nose and a red and black-fruited palate.

South Australia

South Australia (SA) is Australia's wine heartland, producing most of the country's wine and boasting some of its oldest vines. The dry, hot climate ripens grapes fully, making bold, dense and concentrated wines.

The Barossa Valley has a rich viticultural history with patches of bush-trained vines, many more than 100 years old. It is first and foremost a red wine region. Shiraz is king but cabernet sauvignon, grenache and mourvèdre play an important part, too.

Close to the Barossa is the Eden Valley, a windswept series of elevated hills producing exceptional shiraz and floral riesling. Just north of the Barossa is the Clare Valley, which represents Australia's pinnacle for riesling, where elevated vineyards temper the intense heat, producing dry whites of immense class and purity. The region's powerful and muscular reds can be outstanding too.

On the coast south of Adelaide is McLaren Vale, which vies with Barossa to be SA's best red-wine region. The climate is warm enough to...

Just north of the Barossa is the Clare Valley, which represents Australia's pinnacle for riesling, where elevated vineyards temper the intense heat, producing dry whites of immense class and purity. The region's powerful and muscular reds can be outstanding too.

On the coast south of Adelaide is McLaren Vale, which vies with Barossa to be SA's best red-wine region. The climate is warm enough to guarantee lush, chocolatey reds from shiraz, grenache and cabernet, while its strong maritime influence invests elegance in chardonnay, viognier and marsanne. Nearby Langhorne is cooled by the lake and nearby sea, and grows grapes of very good quality at a low cost. These excellent-value wines are marked by a softness and fullness of flavour. The Adelaide Hills area east of the city are cool and provide the perfect ingredients for lemony sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. Coonawarra, further south-east behind the Limestone Coast, is South Australia's leading cabernet region, the unique terra rossa soil and maritime influence producing grapes with intense flavours and fabulous structure.

The Yalumba Wine Company, Australia’s oldest family-owned winery, is owned and operated by the Hill-Smith family in the Barossa Valley, home to some of the world’s oldest vines. Founded in 1849 by British brewer Samuel Smith, who named it ‘Yalumba’ meaning ‘all the land around,’ the winery now owns over 1000 acres of vineyards across the Barossa, Clare, and Eden valleys, as well as Coonawarra, and sources grapes from long-term growers.

Yalumba practices hands-on winemaking, with on-site master coopers crafting oak barrels and a vine nursery propagating varieties. They produce wines at all price levels, from entry-level to premium labels like Signature and The Menzies along with everyday classics like our Society’s own label Australian chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon.

Under fifth-generation Robert Hill-Smith, Yalumba has innovated into the 21st century, maintaining its reputation for quality, authenticity, and integrity. Robert pioneered Viognier in Australia, establishing Yalumba as a distinguished producer of this grape globally.

Environmental sustainability
Yalumba installed a system to harvest solar energy at their winery, the largest in Australia at the time it was installed in 2016. Their environmental credentials are impeccable, 100% accredited by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia and they are a Silver Member of International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), as well as being partners of the United Nations Race to...

In the winery they take a minimal intervention approach, from the vineyard to the cellar.

Itâ€™s hard to give a blanket picture of how Australia has done in any particular vintage as, frankly, itâ€™s huge! Regional variation notwithstanding, 2019 generally looks good in most regions after an excellent 2018. Drought, though, continued to be a problem, and rising temperatures in places such as McLaren Vale mean that alcohol levels are only going in one direction.

However, I would urge members not to base their view of the entirety of Australia on what is going on in Barossa or McLaren Vale. 2019 in Margaret River produced some excellent wines and this continues to be a world-class region for elegant, silky and delicious cabernet-based wines. Tasmania, Yarra and Mornington Peninsula have also shone in the 2019 vintage and demonstrate how fantastic Australia is for cooler-climate winemaking. Thanks to Margaret River and Mornington Peninsulaâ€™s sea influence (therefore keeping temperatures cooler) and the microclimates of Yarra Valley and Tasmania, these regions are set to...
