Yalumba

Founded in 1849, Yalumba is Australia's most historic family-owned wine company. 'Yalumba' in the Aboriginal language means 'All the land around'. Proud of its history, for more than 168 years, Yalumba preserves certain traditions such as producing its own wine barrels. Yalumba is one of the few wineries in the world that enjoys the privilege of having a cooperage on its own property. Yalumba is also one of the most influential producers of Viognier in the world. After Viognier was first planted in 1980, the company's winemaking experience and winemaking continues to evolve with this attractive grape. As an independent, family-owned business, Yalumba Winery is very progressive. Experiments are constantly being carried out in the field of winemaking and grape growing to continue building Yalumba's reputation as an innovative winery. Today, Yalumba Winery is officially part of parent company Hill-Smith Family Vineyards, which also includes Oxford Landing Estate, Nautilus Estate from Marlborough, New Zealand and Jansz Premium Sparkling Wines from Tasmania.
