✨ 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
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.
