If you’re searching for a red that captures the soul of the Barossa Valley, Yalumba The Signature 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz delivers in spades. This much-loved Australian blend brings together power and elegance in a bottle that honours both tradition and innovation.
A Tribute to Legacy
Since 1962, every vintage of The Signature has celebrated someone integral to Yalumba’s story. The 2019 vintage honours Chief Viticulturist Robin Nettelbeck, whose deep understanding of Barossa terroir helped shape the very vines that fuel this wine’s character.
Tasting Notes: Sophisticated Yet Generous
The 2019 Signature shows vibrant crimson in the glass with aromas of red currant, cedar, black tea, and hints of graphite. On the palate, it’s a harmonious blend of plush black fruits, elegant savoury spice, and fine, mineral-driven tannins. Cabernet brings structure and drive, while Shiraz adds generosity and richness.
Expect a beautifully layered red with depth, finesse, and a long, satisfying finish.
Crafted for Cellaring
Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (predominantly) and Shiraz, the fruit is sourced from old-vine Barossa blocks, many over 40 years old. The wine spends 20 months in French, Hungarian and American oak, about 25% of which is new — giving it excellent structure and ageing potential.
With 14.5% ABV, the 2019 vintage is drinking well now, but will reward those who cellar it over the next 15–20 years.
Awards and Accolades
The 2019 release has earned widespread praise from critics and collectors alike. It’s been called one of the most refined Signatures in years — balanced, expressive, and beautifully crafted. James Halliday awarded it 95 points, praising its silky tannins and deep complexity.
What to Pair It With
The Signature is known for its versatility at the table. Try pairing it with:
- Slow-roasted lamb shoulder with rosemary
- Chargrilled eggplant with tahini and pomegranate
- Aged cheddar or hard sheep’s milk cheese
Whether it’s for a special dinner or quiet moment of indulgence, this wine elevates the experience.
