✨ Technical Specifications
Yellow Tail Pinot Grigio represents a modern Australian take on a classic European grape, crafted to be exceptionally fresh, vibrant, and approachable. Sourced from select vineyards across the vast South Eastern Australia zone, where warm, sun-drenched days are balanced by cool night breezes, the grapes are harvested at night to lock in their natural acidity and bright fruit flavors. In the cellar, the juice undergoes a cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, entirely avoiding oak contact to preserve the pure, zesty essence of the fruit. This style reflects the Casella family's pioneering vision of stripping away the pretension of wine, offering a crisp, easy-drinking white that captures the playful spirit of the Australian landscape.
🍾 About the Producer
Created in 2001 by the Casella family under Casella Family Brands, Yellow Tail is based in Yenda, New South Wales, sourcing fruit across the South Eastern Australia wine zone. Conceived by John Casella with the vision of crafting accessible, easy-drinking, and unpretentious wines, the label swiftly achieved global acclaim for its vibrant character and iconic yellow-footed rock-wallaby emblem. The winemaking philosophy centers on delivering fruit-forward, approachable profiles made with modern vinification techniques and consistent quality across red, white, and rosé styles. The brand is particularly famous worldwide for its generous Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, crisp Pinot Grigio, and sweet, effervescent Pink Moscato.
