The Yalumba Single Site release marks a milestone in the Hill Smith family's enduring commitment to exploring, unearthing and celebrating the complex terroir of the Barossa, a commitment that spans more than 150 years.

"A wine's price doesn't tell you how expensive it is. It depends on the quality, prestige, rarity and all manner of factors. Yalumba - a leader at everything from cask to exclusive wine - has just released a new range of single-site reds ... they're all stunning statements of their region, variety and site, and exactly the kind of wine that Australia needs to think about, produce and promote. I have no hesitation in recommending them all, in particular the shiraz wines. (They’re) quite spectacular - and will be even better when it's mature, from about six years time onwards. A wine of this calibre never comes cheap, because such wines are rare.”

- Campbell Mattinson, Gourmet Traveller WINE, June / July 2009

 Kalimna Barossa Shiraz 2007

Kalimna Barossa Shiraz 2007

From the Schiller family vineyard on Belvidere Road, approximately 1 km north of Nuriootpa on the Barossa Valley floor. Due to the difficult 2007 season which resulted in low yields, two blocks from the Schiller vineyards were hand harvested together, the Home Old Shiraz planted in 1935, and the Home Front Shiraz planted in 1969, yielded only about 10 tonnes in total. Both of these blocks have rows that run north-south and are of a sandy soil type featuring yellow sand and ochre clays over red clay.
