These are families that are producing landmark Australian wines that showcase the diversity, quality and authenticity of Australian wine. Yalumba was established in 1849 and it is the most historic family owned wine company in Australia. It remains fiercely independent and extremely progressive through the generational ownership of the Hill-Smith family.  \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe winery has blossomed into one of Australias premier wineries and their success stems from the dedication of generations to high quality, organic where possible, and progressive thinking. The winery was founded by Samuel Smith in 1849 and his own grandson Fred Caley-Smith took the reigns in 1893. In the mid 1980’s Robert and Sam Hill-Smith bought out the other family shareholders ensuring the winery remains in the family for another generation at least.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eToday, Yalumba is one of the only wineries to own it’s own cooperage where they make their own barrels for ageing their wines.

We are used to seeing Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay and this will be very different. We will explore new varietals, premium blends and organic and biodynamic wines, whilst hearing from Paul about each wine we taste throughout the evening. \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAs always, the event is supported by Yalumba themselves as well as WineOnline.ie and the local importer of Yalumba in Ireland.
