Product Notes

Yalumba's Y Series Merlot is a dazzling Australian wine from the South Australian vineyards. The wine boasts a deep crimson shade with an impressive nose of wild berry fruits, intertwined with complex layers of mint and cocoa. On the palate, you'll savour lively flavours of plum and blackberry, accompanied by a silky smooth texture. It's an approachable wine with moderate acidity and soft tannins, rounded off by a pleasingly long finish. Beautifully packaged, it reflects Yalumba's dedication to sustainable winemaking. This Merlot pairs exceptionally with red meats and mature cheeses. Definitely a crowd pleaser for the discerning wine lover.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant crimson in colour with a magenta hue, the 2017 Y Series Merlot bursts from the glass with strong notes of fresh, just picked black fruits; the nose is brooding with hints of fruit pastilles. Dark chocolate and a touch of dried fruit add to the welcoming aromatics; this is an expressive and vivacious Merlot. The palate is generous, round and succulent. The mid palate shows lovely synergy between the fruit and tannins. The wine has hints of exotic spices and finishes fresh and lively.
