Country: Australia
The Yellow Tail Merlot is approachable, fresh and flavoursome with great personality. There are hint of vanilla on the nose, and ripe almost Christmas cake fruit.
Yellow Tail wines are produced by a family run wine producer in some of South Eastern Australias best vineyards. The company is only 8 years old, yet fast becoming one of the Worlds most popular wines.
The name Yellow Tail comes from the yellow-footed rock wallaby, a smaller cousin of the kangaroo that has a golden tail.
Theres a story behind their little mascot. The tellow tail producers were looking up kangaroo in a textbook when we came across a technical description of a wallaby. In the margin, alongside the Latin derivation of the name, was the Australian version in brackets. yellow tail. The brackets set it apart, and lowercase lettering kept it unpretentious. They thought that was a perfect name for the wines, and it stuck.
