Yalumba wines have a style all of their own and each have been influenced by a diverse range of elements. Elements Yalumba likes to call 'the controllables', such as the Yalumba Vine Nursery and on-site cooperage – as well as other factors that cannot be emulated by any other winery. Yalumba’s history and tradition combined with a reputation for innovation.  Selective handpicking meant the grapes were picked at several passes through the vineyards to achieve optimal ripeness. The grapes where chilled overnight in small slotted bins, then pressed to ensure minimal colour pick up from the pink skins, followed by oxidative handling to naturally remove any colour. Fermentation proceeded on full solids, utilising yeasts indigenous to the vineyard. The wines were then left on their lees until blending in August.

Yalumba Y Series Pinot Grigio 2009 Tating Notes

An aromatic wine, the 2009 Y Pinot Grigio displays aromas of baked apple and honeydew melon with a hint of almond meal. The Y Series Pinot Grigio is a refreshing wine displaying aromas of pear and custard apple with a fine acidity, balanced by layers of lemon curd and a hint of marzipan. A light bodied wine, it has a slightly mealy texture that adds to the mouth watering and lingering finish.
