Yalumba Galway Vintage Shiraz shows all the hallmarks of a traditional Barossa Red. It is deep in colour with crimson hues. There are aromas of mulberries, black forest cake and liquorice allsorts that speak of its varietal and regional origins. The palate is ripe and generous with flavours of mulberries, dark chocolate and hints of beetroot. It finishes with cocoa powder like tannins that give evenness and generosity to the wine.
“Galway Vintage is as much a part of the Yalumba stable as The Signature – it’s been the Australian red wine drinkers’ staple since 1943.” Robert Hill-Smith, Fifth Generation, Yalumba Named after former South Australian governor LieutenantColonel Sir Henry Lionel Galway – a keen wine man who wasn’t afraid to speak his mind – Yalumba Galway Vintage has always had the mandate to exceed the expectations of even the most demanding red wine drinker. Rich in colour, with distinctive spicy fruit and perfectly integrated oak, this is an elegant, full bodied wine, perfect to enjoy with barbecued meats.
Sourced from vineyards throughout the renowned Barossa region. A range of terroir can be seen across the different vineyards, from sandy soils to sandy oam, to red-brown earth over red clay, ideal for growing expressive Shiraz.
TASTING NOTES
Bright ruby in colour with crimson hues. A generous nose of pepper, blackberry, choc mocha and vanilla tones, opening further with hints of liquorice, and violets. The savoury palate shows blood plums and sweet spice leading onto soft tannins. A rich, generous and full-flavoured Barossa Shiraz, Galway Vintage Shiraz is a clever crowd favourite.
Enjoy with a homemade burger, caramelised onion and
beetroot relish or mushroom and thyme risotto

The Barossa Valley is one of the major regions in Australia, where many of the major wine companies are based. It is believed the first vineyards were planted in the 1840s by Silesian migrants (who settled in Bethany). There followed a rapid expansion of plantations. The early styles of wines produced were heavy dry red wines and fortified wines that were popular both domestically and in Britain. After the Second World War the styles shifted to lighter table wines with production of Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The Barossa Valley is home to some very well known names such as Seppelt, Wolf Blass and Penfolds as well as many smaller producers. The climate is Mediterranean with hot dry summers and cool wet winters, making it ideal for viticulture. The main wine styles: White – Semillon, Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon-Chardonnay blend; Red – Shiraz (full bodied & ripe) with Old Vine Shiraz a speciality of many vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Shiraz-Grenache-Mataro blend, Cabernet-Merlot blend.
