Guest Selector ➺Jessica Hill-Smith
Jessica Hill-Smith, generational descendant of Yalumba’s founder Samuel Smith, was destined to be involved in the family business. With the winery as a giant playground for Jessica and her two sisters, she spent her childhood roaming the winery and vineyards surrounding Yalumba’s Eden Valley winery. While never sure what her future might hold, there was no denying the intrinsic value of growing up in the vineyard played in determining her path into the family business.
After being encouraged to gain experience and outside of the family business, in 2019, Jessica returned to the Barossa and became the sixth generation to enter the family fold, aligning with the winery’s 170 year anniversary.
“These are all Australian wines which remind me of my childhood, growing up surrounded by the vines at Yalumba’s Eden Valley winery as well as some of my favourite wines made by lifelong friends.”

THE SELECTION STORIES
Jansz - Tasmania Seasonal Premium Rose NV
"Everyone knows the Jansz Cuvee NV, but I have always loved the rose. A 92% Pinot 8% Chardonnay blend from the very best Tasmanian vineyards, this undeniably Tasmanian bubble will always impress."
Pewsey Vale - Heritage Label Estate Riesling 2022
"Who doesn’t love a retro label? The same delicious wine, with a throwback to the OG labels of the 1970s to celebrate 175 years of Pewsey Vale Vineyard. This single vineyard Eden Valley estate is 100% planted to riesling – it’s one of the most consistent vineyards, and year on year it produces a glass of Riesling that tastes like home."
Murdoch Hill - Rocket Chardonnay 2021
"I remember the first vintage of this wine knowing I was onto something special. Micky has the midas touch when it comes to world class Chardonnay. Purity of fruit and complexity, with fine mineral finish the Rocket is fast becoming one of Australia’s best Chardonnays."
Ashton Hills - Piccadilly Pinot Noir 2021
"This three-hectare dry grown vineyard in the Piccadilly Valley subregion is one of my favourite Adelaide Hills estates. I admire their attention to detail and focus and their wines always over deliver."
Yalumba - Vine Vale Grenache 2021
"Handpicked early from our 1929 old vine grenache block this wine is all about the subtlety of whole bunch fermentation. Medium bodied, generous and bright through the palate with a crunch of acidity surrounding the juicy, fleshy middle palate that Grenache aficionados will love. I love that the modern examples of Barossa Grenache are showcasing a different side to Barossa reds that people are starting to discover!"
Yalumba - The Signature Cabernet Shiraz 2018
"This wine will always be on my list. Yes, it’s a classic Barossa claret, a flagship Yalumba Cabernet Shiraz. But for those in the know – its special because every year we release this wine we dedicate the wine to an individual that embodies the culture and traditions of our family business. Each wine tells a story, read the back label to learn about a Yalumba legend."
