Yalumba Y Series Pinot Grigio 2024
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
At Yalumba we believe that one good wine leads to another. The Y Series was created with that
belief in mind. The Y Series is a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals. Each
authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions. We look
forward to sharing our love of wine with you as you explore the Y Series.
The fruit for the Y Series Pinot Grigio is sourced from premium viticultural regions of South
Australia. Careful hand-picking allowed the grapes to be picked at optimal ripeness. Whole
bunch pressing was used to minimise color and tannin extraction from the pink skins, followed
by oxidative handling to naturally remove any remaining colour. Fermentation proceeded on
full solids, utilising yeast indigenous to the vineyard. The wines were then left on their lees until
blending, giving the final wine complexity and finesse.
Good rainfall was recorded during July & August which replenished the sub-surface soil
moisture. This proved invaluable as spring and summer were on the dry side. Rainfall late in
December and again in late January was vital to refreshing the vines during the growing season
and leading into harvest. Following near perfect ripening weather, the Pinot Grigio grapes were
harvested in late January through to the middle of March.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Straw with green highlights in colour, this wine has an appealing mix of fresh aromas including
feijoa, orange blossom, nashi pear and wild honey with a floral lift of jasmine and rose petal.
The palate is refreshing and lively. It opens with layers of
baked apple and pear skin flavours that are complemented by
succulent acidity and oatmeal texture from wild fermentation
and lees aging.
