YALUMBA FDR1A(FINE DRY RED 1A) CABERNET SAUVIGNON & SHIRAZ

Select parcels of grapes, both Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, were handpicked and

were machine harvested and fermented in our larger static fermenters. The natural or

added to complete fermentation. The result is a wine with excellent depth of colour,
richness and complexity. After draining and pressing off skins the wine was matured in a
combination of French and Hungarian oak
