Yalumba Organic Chardonnay – Our certified organic Chardonnay is made without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides in the vineyard. The wine was wild fermented using only natural yeasts present in the vineyard and on the grape skins, creating extra layers of complexity and flavour.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
A cool, dry winter followed by mild conditions in spring and early summer allowed the Chardonnay grapes to slowly ripen. Warmer weather in midJanuary led to the even ripening of grapes with great flavours and natural acidity.
PROVENANCE
Located on the Murray River at Loxton, the Barich family have a beautiful organic vineyard which produces wonderful Chardonnay. The grapes from this vineyard are combined with grapes from the Carypidis family vineyard at Angle Vale who have produced high quality Chardonnay for Yalumba for many years. From the 2018 vintage, they are joined by the Strachan Vineyard in Renmark, who like the Carypidis Family are long term growers. Meticulous
work in the vineyards ensures that the grapes are in perfect condition when they are picked.
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw in colour with green hues. Natural ferment characters dominate the nose leading to peach, melon and ripe stone fruits. Stone fruits are initially dominant on the palate with hints of lemon rind and pineapple, leading to a creamy custard apple finish

“Founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith, Yalumba is Australia’s oldest family owned winery. Today, the winery is owned by fifth generation descendants, Robert & Sam Hill Smith and their families.
Yalumba is determined to create wines with genuine regional character, varietal flavour and individual personality; wines that say remarkable things about some of the world’s most remarkable wine regions.”
South Australia is the largest wine producing state of Australia. It may be surprising to most that the Riverland region is the state’s largest grape producing area. The Barossa Valley is famed for its full-bodied, rich, ripe and generous reds. The Coonawarra is internationally renowned for its Cabernet Sauvignon (and prized ‘terra rossa’ soils). Padthaway, McLaren Vale, and the Clare Valley all make major contributions, and the importance of the Adelaide Hills is rapidly increasing.
