Description
Yalumba Paradox shiraz
An inky crimson wine with complex aromas full of freshly baked plum cake crushed black pepper, violets and fennel with hints of blueberries. The palate is lush with layers of velvet, great structure and flavours reminiscent of satsuma plums, olives, black pepper and anise. The wine finishes savoury and is driven by fine powdery tannins. James Suckling Top 100 Wines 2017 – #94.
Northern Barossa
Yalumba Distinguished Sites is a family of exceptional wines. Carefully sourced and masterfully crafted to capture the true essence of specific, special sites from which it is grown.
Made with little intervention, the Paradox Shiraz used small parcels of grapes fermented with wild yeast in French open top oak vats. The ferment naturally gets warm, allowing the fruit flavours and textures to express themselves, while the tannin extraction
is minimal. Natural malolactic fermentation occurs in oak, the majority of which is old and larger format puncheons.
