Yalumba is Australia’s oldest family-owned winery with over 170 years of winemaking experience. Since 1849, six generations of the Hill-Smith family have showcased the best of the Barossa, embracing the unknown and leading the way by growing vines with as little interference as possible.
Our winemaking philosophy and practice mean that our wines are made with minimal intervention but with as much knowledge, confidence, and expertise as possible. We want our wines to show their provenance and natural appellation – whether it be a single site, a variety or blend, or a personal style.
Our Y Series collection combines authentic Australian winemaking practices with a vibrant approach inspired by today’s tastes. The Y Series sources grapes from South Australia’s most celebrated wine growing regions and showcases a varietal lineup that is unparalleled in diversity and frequently awarded 90+ scores by the wine world’s top publications.
Generation after generation, we continually strive to reduce our impact on the environment, stay involved in the community, and make great wine. We are committed to sustainable practices with the belief that healthier vines create better wines. We have been developing our sustainable viticulture program since the mid-1990s to preserve our environment for future generations. We reserve 50% of our land for the protection of biodiversity, and all our wines are vegan and crafted with 100% wild yeasts. Over our long history of wine growing, we have been awarded 43 accolades globally for sustainable practices, including sustainable wine growing.
