Yalumba's 'The Signature' has been one of Australia's most distinguished reds since 1962, and the 2022 is a fine continuation of that tradition. A blend of Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, it draws on the family's oldest vineyards to deliver something with genuine weight and composure — dark-fruited, spiced, and built to age but approachable right now with a bit of air. This is the Barossa at its most considered: ripe without being overblown, structured without austerity. We think the 2022 sits beautifully in the range's history — a warm vintage that has gifted the wine plush, generous fruit without sacrificing the grippy backbone that makes cellaring worthwhile. Drink it from 2026 if you're keen, or hold until 2035 and let it find its full stride.
