✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the Casella family in the heart of New South Wales, the [yellow tail] Riesling reimagines a classic European noble grape through a distinctly sun-drenched Australian lens. Sourced from selected vineyards across the expansive South Eastern Australia region, where warm days are tempered by cool desert nights, this wine captures the vibrant, easy-drinking essence that made the brand a global phenomenon. To preserve the grape's delicate aromatics, the juice undergoes a cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact entirely. The result is an incredibly approachable white wine that bursts with fresh citrus and floral notes, embodying the Casella philosophy of demystifying wine and bringing people together for simple, everyday enjoyment.
🍾 About the Producer
Established as a family winery in 1969 by Sicilian immigrants Filippo and Maria Casella in Yenda, New South Wales, Casella Family Brands reshaped the global wine landscape in 2001 with the debut of [yellow tail]. Conceived by Managing Director John Casella, the brand disrupted traditional wine marketing through an unpretentious, fruit-forward ethos. Fruit is harvested extensively across the broad South Eastern Australia viticultural zone, drawing primarily from sun-drenched, warm inland riverine corridors like the Riverina and Riverland, defined by red sandy clay loams, hot continental summers, and canal irrigation. Modern, large-scale, temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification preserves direct varietal typicity, lively freshness, and soft, low-tannin profiles. Backed by full Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification across winery sites and grower networks, [yellow tail] remains anchored by benchmark varietal bottlings including its vibrant Shiraz, approachable Cabernet Sauvignon, crisp Pinot Grigio, and aromatic Moscato.
