Other Reviews...
Yalumba chief winemaker, Louisa Rose, has spent much time in research into and practical use of wild (or indigenous) yeasts in white winemaking. This is a vibrant wine that shows real depth and weight, minerally complexity and fine citrus fruit yielding to notes of French oak on the finish.
