Yalumba is Australia's oldest family-owned winery, established in 1849 by British brewer Samuel Smith in Angaston, Barossa Valley. The name "Yalumba" is derived from an Indigenous Australian word meaning "all the land around," reflecting the winery's deep connection to its surroundings. Over six generations, Yalumba has remained independent, with a commitment to producing wines that showcase the best of the Barossa.

Since 1987, the Hill-Smith family have purchased fruit from this vineyard and in 1992 counted themselves amongst those fortunate enough to own a vineyard upon the famous 
terra rossa soil over limestone. Experimentation, innovation, minimalist intervention and small batch winemaking has resulted in The Menzies’ reputation as a wine of longevity, 
elegance and structure. 

Matured for 21 months in 30% new French and Hungarian hogsheads and French barriques, balance in 1 year and older American, French and Hungarian hogsheads and barriques.

Tasting Notes

"Dark cherry red with a crimson hue. Elegant and inviting aromas of cedar and chocolate combine beautifully with rich, ripe cassis and violets. Sublime tannins give the drinker an 
insight into the agebility of this wine. Excellent drinking now and it will continue to evolve and delight." Yalumba
