Yalumba
The historic Yalumba winery is the centrepiece of a series of the Hill-Smith family-owned vineyard holdings throughout South Australia and other states. Yalumba's wines largely focus on the Barossa (which incorporates the Eden Valley subregion) and contain several flagship labels. There's a seamlessness, elegance and integration characteristic of Yalumba wines, whose reds typically incorporate some tightly-knit cedary oak from the company's own cooper. The 2012 The Signature red, the finest under this label I have tasted, exemplifies this perfectly. Even the 2009 Octavius, from a hot season, is more elegant and savoury than the occasional fruit an oak bombs that have preceded it. Another 2012 release worth seeking is the Tri-Centenary Vineyard Grenache - a regional classic.
