Yalumba Patchwork Barossa Shiraz 2015 (Australia)
"Deep-tinted shiraz in an elegant and accessible style with plum, raspberry, red rose and spicy oak flavours. Supple rather than blockbuster wine that demonstrates real drinkability and food-friendliness" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2018
"This wine is made from parcels of fruit drawn from different parts of the Barossa, hence the name, “Patchwork”. It’s a distinctive expression, with a little funky complexity adding interest. Poise and stillness are key features; it flows sedately and generously along tight lines. “Great personality and harmony,” noted John Saker" Cuisine magazine, Australian Shiraz Tasting, Issue #189, June 2018
"Comforting, crowd-pleasing and deeply delicious; the gorgeous bouquet shows blackberry, spiced plum, cocoa and cedar characters, leading to a concentrated palate that is richly fruited and expansive, wonderfully complemented by layers of delectable flavours and velvety mouthfeel. At its best: now to 2025." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2018
This is classic Barossa Shiraz. It shows rich, warm aromatics, with dark cherry, herbs, anise and bitter dark chocolate. The wine is marked by a clarity of fruit which carries a lovely richness and intensity. The palate is warm and inviting, showing depth with focus. A generous and flavoursome Barossa Shiraz with ripe tannins that melt into the concentrated finish.
The growing season began with consistent rainfall throughout winter. Spring remained warmer and drier than average and although bunch and berry size was reduced, the vines were off to a healthy start. The reduced berry and bunch size has produced grapes of great aromatics and flavour. Summer was long and relatively mild with quite cool nights. This has helped to retain the acidity and pristine fruit flavours in our Shiraz.
A combination of small and medium size static fermenters were used, with ‘wild’ yeasts present on the grape skins being allowed to initiate fermentation. Cultured winery yeasts were then added to complete the fermentation and parcels were then pressed and run to barrel with the result being a wine with excellent depth of colour, richness and complexity. Drink now or cellar for 5 - 7 years.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with green bean and mushroom stroganoff or grilled lamb cutlets with sea salt and rosemary roast potatoes.
