WINE DESCRIPTION
Yellow Tail Shiraz-Grenache is a simple fruity red wine produced by Yellow Tail owned by the Casella Family. This wine is made from a blend of Shiraz and Grenache grapes, sourced from vineyards in the South Eastern Australia super zone. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, before being fermented in inert vessels at cooler temperatures with the focus on lighter tannin extraction and retention of fruit flavors. The wine has a touch of sweetness to create a soft, approachable style.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Yellow Tail Shiraz-Grenache leaps from the glass with aromas of ripe plums and blueberries, with hints of spice and chocolate.On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and juicy, with simple ripe red berry flavors and a hint of pepper. The finish is relatively short, with a hint of spice to complement the jammy dark fruit. This is an easy-drinking, well-balanced wine that has a broad appeal.
