Comments on Yalumba Vat-11 Grenache 2024.

Yalumba has won the top Grenache prize at the Royal Queensland Wine Show two years in a row, winning this year with the Yalumba Vat-11 Grenache 2024. Last year it won with the Yalumba Vine Vale Grenache 2023.

The Yalumba Vat 11 Grenache 2024 is a lovely wine it has to be said. I reviewed and scored it on The Winefront site. It’s “deliciousness writ large” or, at least, writ in medium body. Put it this way, when I reviewed this wine I was tasting-and-spitting but it was a wine that I really just wanted to swallow and drink which, needless to say, is always a good sign. Congrats to Yalumba. This wine is polished and delicious at once.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
