Christobel Hill Smith was an integral part of the personality around the Yalumba household and wineworks for over sixty years, her vitality and charm bewitched all those around her. Her eponymous wine is equally charismatic, two thirds Semillon and a third of Sauvignon Blanc, fashioned into a well structured Barossa white supported by exquisite mineral slateyness. The aromaticnes and pungency of Sauvignon Blanc adorn the beautiful fresh flavours and lithe natural acidity.

$1799each $215DOZEN EACH DOZEN Harvests of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from loyal Barossa growers, some have been supplying Yalumba for generations. Great care is taken to pick the grapes early to ensure maximum freshness and delicacy. Christobel's Semillon is always picked early to retain freshness and capture the classic varietal lemon sorbet flavour. Grapes are gently pressed to extract clean free run juices, minimally handled to protect fresh fruit characters. Parcels are inoculated to neutral yeasts and vinified at cooler temperatures to maximise the varietal expression and retain essential Sauvignon Blanc aromatic complexity. The finished components are left on light lees until assemblage.

Bright green hue. Aromas of lemon verbena, orange blossom and lantana, each variety of grape contributing its own charm. Semillon defines the palate, giving it light body with citrus blossom flavours, Sauvignon Blanc gives the palate zest and crunch. A wonderfully fruit driven wine for current drinking alongside fresh seafood, salads and Asian style faire.

Back in 1980 when the Viognier grape was all but extinct, Yalumba began a journey which has made them the most influential producer of Viognier in the world. Yalumba began their love affair with this exotic Rhone varietal when they realized that the slightly elevated slopes of Eden Valley were ideal for aromatic whites. The site was to become Australia's first significant Viognier vineyard. After many vintages, Yalumba have determined that the best results are achieved when they intervene as little as possible in the fermentation and the ageing.

$2299each $275DOZEN EACH DOZEN Following harvest, two thirds of the fruit is gently pressed directly to a mix of older French oak puncheons and barriques, the balance is pressed into fermenters. Juices are handled with passive oxidation, allowing the wine to ferment with indigenous yeasts, natural to the vineyard. Batches are kept on sedimentery yeast lees and treated to regular batonnage for ten months to increase complexity, infuse creaminess and further contribute to palate weight. Barrel fermentation has contributed to creating a truly intriguing wine. Natural indigenous vineyard yeasts play a key role in allowing the flavours and textures to express themselves to the full.

Pale gold with green highlights. A nose of pure aromas displaying apricot nectar, lifted honeysuckle and orange oil perfume. The palate is long, rich and luscious, with intense stone fruit, particularly white peach and apricot flavours, finishing with an aromatic citrus freshness. Yalumba will continue to evolve, revealing enhanced apricot and spice, followed by honey and toast.

Many of Yalumba's most dedicated growers have been converting to organic viticulture for years, their hard work yields a quality of fruit with intense varietal characters. Choice parcels of Viognier are grown to environmentally sustainable techniques, fermented through indigenous yeast and little human intervention by the highly accomplished Yalumba team. All grapes selected are from sites which have been certified by the Soil Association of the UK and NASAA Australia as approved organic producers.
