Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Shiraz 2022

Description

Product Description: A flagship blend with a legacy written in red — bold, structured and built to endure. Yalumba’s 2022 The Signature is a tribute wine in more ways than one. Each vintage honours a key figure in Yalumba’s story, while the wine itself continues a revered tradition of blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz with clarity, power and grace. Fruit is sourced from some of the Barossa Valley’s finest vineyard sites—including blocks dating back to 1945—with the Cabernet providing structure and aromatic lift, and the Shiraz contributing plush, spiced depth. Matured for 18 months in a mix of new and seasoned Hungarian and French oak from Yalumba’s own cooperage, the 2022 vintage is rich and finely honed. Expect dark berries, red licorice and mint, layered with bay leaf, tobacco, spice and earth. It’s a wine with backbone and finesse, held by beautifully integrated tannins and acidity. Crafted for longevity, this release is destined to develop over decades. Decant it now alongside roast lamb or mushroom ragu, or cellar until 2054 and let it tell its full story. Tasting Notes NOSE – Dark and aromatic Blackcurrants, cedar, bay leaf and tobacco leaf lifted by red licorice and floral spice.
