Yalumba GEN Organic Shiraz 2021

 


This GEN Shiraz is part of Yalumba's organic range. Sourced from the Riverland, it shows a little density and weight.

Oxford Landing Stargazing Juicy Red 2022

 


Summer red wine drinking. That's what this is. Part of the new Oxford Landing range, it's a joyous red that will take a chill. And I reckon it drinks way better with a chill too. Perfect for those warmer days if you feel like something with a little more body than what a white wine can offer.

Yalumba Y Series Pinot Noir 2022

 

To be released in early 2023, winemaker Sam Wigan is pretty excited about this and sent a pre-release sneak peek my way. This is another Y Series bargain worth keeping an eye out for.

Oxford Landing Sunlight Shiraz 2021

 


The Sunlight by Oxford Landing collection is an answer to the global trend in moderation, health, well-being, and sustainability. Globally, 24% of consumers are actively reducing their alcohol consumption by switching to a lower alcohol option.

Of the two Sunlight wines, I prefer this Shiraz. Much like its sibling, it is quite light on the flavour, but there is more to speak of here. 

Oxford Landing Sunlight Chardonnay 2021

 


With low and no alcohol wines gaining popularity, a new range of wines from Oxford Landing has hit the shelves. These Sunlight wines will be served at the Sunset Cinemas this summer I'm reliably informed.

Yalumba GEN Organic Shiraz 2021

 


The only red in the new Yalumba GEN Organic and sustainable range but I suspect that may not be the case in the years to come. A Shiraz that ticks the boxes, in my opinion, this is the best of the five on offer.

Yalumba GEN Organic Chardonnay 2022


When you have some market reach and plenty of vineyards to access, hitting every consumer market comes easy. Enter Yalumba's new GEN Organic and sustainable range that is also vegan friendly. This Chardonnay is a tidy drink and the best of the four whites in the range.

Yalumba GEN Organic Viognier 2022

 


Yalumba does entry-level Viognier better than anyone and this new GEN Organic release proves that point once more. Although I'd prefer the superior Y Series, this is a handy wine make no mistake.

Yalumba GEN Organic Pinot Grigio 2022

 

Part of Yalumba's new GEN Organic range, it is much like its Sauvignon Blanc sibling - there isn't much to bang on about here. Thin without wow factor but it will please those who enjoy simple wines.

Yalumba GEN Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 


Yalumba's latest range of wines is pitched at the Organic and sustainability market. They are vegan too.

Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 

Easy going refreshment coming at ya. Readily available and the best of the current Oxford Landing releases, you can see why this no nonsense Sauv is as popular as ever.

Oxford Landing Cabernet Shiraz 2021

 


With The Caley headlining the Yalumba portfolio, this is the Cabernet Shiraz you will find at the other end. 

Oxford Landing Merlot 2021

 


Pizza and pasta night on a budget. 

Oxford Landing Shiraz 2019

 


Good gear for $13 RRP. You'd probably find it much cheaper out there in retail land too.

Oxford Landing Chardonnay 2022

 


A Riverland Chardonnay that shows some early promise.

Oxford Landing Pinot Grigio 2021

 


Riverland Pinot Grigio. There's not a lot to report here. A simple drink sums it up.
