Yalumba Description

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. It is
with great pleasure we present our 2018 vintage to Nick Waterman. In 2003,
Nick started work as the GM of Negociants Australia and was appointed our
Managing Director in 2015. “I have tried to add structure and strategy to the
existing strong culture, a bit like the perfect Cabernet and Shiraz.”
V I N T A G E C O N D I T I O N S
A wet winter set the vines up for a healthy start to
the season. Spring was drier than average and the
vines responded quickly; growing and flowering well
and setting a good number of bunches. Summer
saw warm, dry days with cool nights ripening the
grapes and maintaining freshness and natural acidity.
The balmy Indian summer of early March helped
complete the ripening of these perfectly balanced
and flavoured grapes.

The Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from four
vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The diversity of our
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
1945. 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.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
An impressive star of the 2018 vintage. Medium deep,
dense, red in colour. Cool, fresh aromas of perfumed
mints, blueberry, small red berries and red spicy cedar
notes. Some leafy aromatics appear as the wine opens
up over time. A refined and complex palate that is
delightfully fresh with seamlessly integrated oak.
Generous red berry fruit is wrapped in finely honed
tannins. A medium to full bodied wine with a long,
flowing tannin profile. A very refined Signature.
F O O D P A I R I N G
Slow cooked beef fillet, potatoes, charred beetroot and
horseradish or a West Indian spiced aubergine curry.
