2019 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz 1.5L
Est. range:
Tax included.
A star of the 2019 vintage. Deep, dense purple-red in colour. Seductive and alluring florals, cool mints, red pomegranate with fine blackberry fruits and dark cherry aromas. The palate is delightfully generous with dark red cherry fruit that merges into ironstone tannins. A medium to full bodied wine with a long, flowing tannin profile. A very refined and elegantly styled Signature.
52% Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Barossa Shiraz, 14.5%
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
A cool winter with lighter than average rainfall. Mild, dry weather through the growing season produced grapes with great flavour and concentration. Summer was full of sunshine and dry weather to ripen the grapes. The resulting wine is a wonderfully refined
expression of fruit vibrancy, ripeness and generosity.
TERROIR/PROVENANCE/REGION
The Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from four vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The diversity of our vineyard selection provides the rich, lifted Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics and palate structure for which The Signature is renowned. The Shiraz comes from
vineyards of varying age, with the oldest planted in 1925. These blocks are of sandy loam, featuring yellow sand and ochre clay over red clay. The combination
of these Barossa Valley blocks provides a Shiraz with sweetness, fullness, depth and layers of complexity.
FOOD PAIRING
Beef brisket cooked low and slow then charred, accompanied by baby cos lettuce, mustard dressing and white onion, plus roasted beetroots and smoked honey. Black bean pasta with roasted carrots and fennel.

THE SIGNATURE CABERNET SAUVIGNON & SHIRAZ 2019
Each vintage of The Signature is named in honour of an individual who has made a significant contribution to the culture and traditions of Yalumba.
However, to honour just one individual this year was an impossibility. Vini & Viti are inseparable, and like a great Cabernet & Shiraz the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. It is with great pleasure we present our 2019 vintage to Kevin Glastonbury, Yalumba Winemaker & Robin Nettelbeck, Chief Viticulturist.
