A B O U T YA L U M B A Fiercely independent since 1849, Yalumba proudly showcases the best of the Barossa. Exciting and energetic, they don't just look to the future, they're running head first into it. Yalumba is not afraid to experiment and venture into the unknown; they want to be noticed and they know that's where magnificence lives.
THE STORY O F YA L U M B A When you hear the story of Yalumba.
It is truly a story of magnificent unknowns. And it’s been this way from the very beginning. From 1847 when Samuel Smith and his family left their hometown of Wareham in Dorset, England on a ship named China and ventured to Adelaide. It was the new world, full of danger and intrigue. He could not resist. Samuel headed into the unknown again when he founded Yalumba in 1849 by planting the first vine under the mystery of moonlight with his son, Sidney. He did not know in his mind what would become of that cutting, but in his heart he knew he was planting a legacy.
Next, he boldly ventured into Australia’s goldfields and was rewarded with enough riches to cement Yalumba’s place in the world. He purchased 80 acres of land and used it to prosper and set the catalyst for a long lineage of generations that would share his ideals. Take Fred Caley Smith—Samuel’s grandson— for instance, bravely voyaging in 1893 across the entire globe gathering unheard of techniques and learnings from horticulturists around the world. Each one a cornerstone of Yalumba’s future efforts. In 1962, Yalumba started something truly magnificent with the creation of what can only be described as the essence—the heartbeat—of Yalumba. Now aptly named The Signature, it’s a prized Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz blend and only released if the vintage is of a standard deemed worthy of the Yalumba name. Yes, it’s fair to say the unknown flows through our very blood. Through Robert Hill-Smith, who—in 1985—took the reins as the leader of Yalumba at 34 years of age.
A pioneer in his own right, he constantly innovates and challenges the norm, insisting on growing varietals matched to the terroir. He continues to encourage experimentation amongst the winemakers and champion the Yalumba Nursery; the manifestation of their progressive nature, dedication to sustainability and love for the Barossa. More recently, to honor the legend of Fred Caley Smith, Yalumba released one of the most impressive wines in their more than 170 year history—The Caley Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz. A masterpiece in its own right and example of Yalumba's commitment to the 'Great Australian Red'. But perhaps their most powerful source of unknown goes largely unnoticed. It was here long before Yalumba and will be here long after they're gone. It is the Yalumba land—the very reason they're able to channel the power of possibility, like embracing wild fermentation--and it is yet to reveal all its wonder. Which means there's one thing Yalumba does know--there's plenty more magnificent unknown to come.
