Yalumba's 2019 carries the weight of 130 years. Handpicked from gnarly bush vines planted in 1889, rooted in Barossa's deep sandy loam and red clay, yielding small quantities that taste like memory. The structure is all old-vine concentration, the kind that doesn't need youth to announce itself. Ancestor vines, ancestor wine.
Winemaker Notes
Handpicked from old, gnarly bush vines planted in 1889 in two acres of deep sandy loam soil over red-brown clay in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Year after year these ancestor vines give small quantities of exceptional grapes.
