Yalumba 'The Signature' Cabernet, Shiraz 2015
- TASTING NOTE: "51/49% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz. A museum release of the famous Yalumba 'The Signature', made by Kevin Glastonbury and honouring the late Darrell Kruger, a Yalumba vineyard manager from '75–'19. Blackberry, black cherry and dark plum fruits of great intensity and depth with a hint of exoticness to the spice array; soul-like it is. Hints of cedar, leather and mahogany. It boasts a superb structure and pitch-perfect weight, the fruit drawing long and elegant on the finish. What a ripper." 96 Points - Dave Brooks, Halliday Wine Companion (April 2025)
- ABOUT THE WINE: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Shiraz. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were sourced from the following vineyards: Roenfeldt near Greenock, Brooks near Gomersal, Trevor Fromm near Williamstown, Cowham at Light Pass, Crown Village vineyard in the Krondorf foothills and Miles near Craneford in Eden Valley. These components all provide the aromatic Cabernet Sauvignon lift and palate structure that The Signature is famous for. The majority of the Shiraz comes from four blocks on the Schiller family vineyard, located north of Nuriootpa on the Barossa Valley floor, the oldest of which was planted in 1925. Other vineyard sources included were from near Truro, the Penrice area and around the winery at Angaston. These blocks provide the Shiraz sweetness, fullness, depth and help to add many layers of complexity. Matured for 22 months in 18% new Yalumba-coopered French barriques, French and Hungarian hogsheads, balance in older French, Hungarian and American barriques and hogsheads.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Owned and run by the Hill-Smith family, Yalumba has a long commitment to quality and great vision in its selection of vineyard sites, new varieties and brands. It has always been a serious player at the top end of full-bodied Australian reds and was a pioneer in the use of screwcaps. Encompassing everything our family stands for and the perfect representation of our history and ethos, The Signature is a sentimental favorite. A classic Australian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
