Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
Yalumba is Australia’s most historic family-owned winery. The Y Series collection combines
authentic Australian winemaking practices with a vibrant approach inspired by modern flavors.
While simple and contemporary at first sight, the bright labels show subtle layers when
considered closely. Each varietal features a unique illustration symbolizing the relationship
between the wine and nature.
The Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine true to self. Subliming this varietal, this wine
gives the drinker a pure and satisfying experience. It’s a wine reflective of the best Cabernet
Sauvignon growing regions in South Australia. Not weighed down by excessive oak, the fruit
and sense of place can shine.
Fruit for the Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from distinguished South
Australian red growing regions such as Wrattonbully and the Barossa Valley.
This juice is left to sit on its skins for 1-3 days prior to fermentation. Wild yeast then induces
fermentation and this action takes place in stainless steel tanks. All Y Series wines are made
with wild fermentation and the winemakers take a minimalistic approach with human
intervention. The resulting wines are natural, vegan, gluten free and met by complex flavors
that represent Yalumba’s rich history of winemaking.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Deep crimson in color. Lovely aromas of juicy, red plums and violets, balanced by savory
Mediterranean herbs. The palate is sweet fruited and full with distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon
tannins.
The Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and friendly wine that shows why Cabernet
Sauvignon is one of the world’s best known and enjoyed varieties.

A lovely match for spaghetti and meatballs or mushroom and spinach lasagna.
