Based in South Australia and established in 1849, Yalumba is Australia’s oldest family owned wine company and remains fiercely independent and progressive through exclusive ownership by the Hill-Smith family.
Led by fifth generation Chairman, Robert Hill-Smith, teamwork is vital and decisions are the result of patience, consensus and innovation. There is foresight to micro-manage individual vineyards, a will to preserve the very old vines of the Barossa, and the knowledge to behave as a leader in the industry.
Yalumba remains committed to the truly Australian wine style of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend. With its own on-site cooperage, Yalumba has the advantage of full control over the quality of oak used to age its collections of premium wine.
With success intrinsically linked to the land, Yalumba is acutely aware of how its presence impacts the environment. Sustainability efforts include extensive replanting of cleared land to native vegetation and a drastic reduction in the use of artificial pesticides and chemicals.
