Yalumba’s Vat-11 Grenache 2024 wins big at Royal Queensland Wine Show

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.
