Each vintage of The Signature is named in honour of an individual who has made a significant contribution to the culture and traditions of Yalumba. However, to honour just one individual this year was an impossibility. Vini & Viti are inseparable, and like a great Cabernet & Shiraz the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This year the 2019 vintage is dedicated to Kevin Glastonbury, Yalumba Winemaker & Robin Nettelbeck, Chief Viticulturist.

The Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from four vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The diversity of vineyard selection provides the rich, lifted Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics and palate structure for which The Signature is renowned. The Shiraz comes from vineyards of varying age, with the oldest planted in 1925. These blocks are of sandy loam, featuring yellow sand and ochre clay over red clay. The combination of these Barossa Valley blocks provides a Shiraz with sweetness, fullness, depth and layers of complexity.

Tasting Notes:
A star of the 2019 vintage. Deep, dense purple-red in colour. Seductive and alluring florals, cool mints, red pomegranate with fine blackberry fruits and dark cherry aromas. The palate  is delightfully generous with dark red cherry fruit that merges into ironstone tannins. A medium to full bodied wine with a long, flowing tannin profile. A very refined and  elegantly styled Signature.
