Yalumba Wine Company

Domaine. Located in Angaston, South Australia in the Barossa Valley wine region, Yalumba was founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith, an English brewer from Dorset who emigrated to Australia in 1847. After purchasing a 12-hectare block of land, Samuel began planting the first vines and named his property ‘Yalumba’ – aboriginal for ‘all the land around’. The family has remained at the helm ever since, represented today by 5^th generation Robert Hill-Smith. Yalumba has its own estate vineyards in both the Barossa Valley, with some of the oldest vines in the world, including 1889 bush vine Grenache and 1908 Shiraz, and Coonawarra, where its The Menzies Vineyard, comprised predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon, sits at the inner sanctum on the prized terra rossa soil. It is also the only winery in the southern hemisphere to have its own on-site cooperage. Red blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz are a specialty at Yalumba, with The Signature and The Caley among Australia’s most prestigious fine wines. B+D
