A generous yet polished Barossa blend celebrating Yalumba’s long family history. Shiraz brings depth and structure, with ripe blackberry, plum and gentle spice, while Grenache lifts the blend with red fruit brightness and a touch of warmth. The palate is smooth and balanced, showing juicy fruit, fine tannins and a subtle savoury edge that keeps everything in check. Approachable and expressive, with enough freshness to avoid heaviness - a confident, modern take on a classic Barossa pairing, and a fitting nod to one of Australia’s great wine families.
