The story

The story behind Yellow Tail

John Casella launched [yellow tail] in 2001, building on the family winery his Sicilian parents Filippo and Maria started in 1969. The wine comes out of Yenda, New South Wales, with grapes drawn from the South Eastern Australia appellation. The plan was never subtle: strip out the oak-and-tannin lecture, keep the fruit loud, and price it so a Tuesday burger does not need a sommelier.

We have poured Yellow Tail red blends across this counter for years, and the style has not drifted. Stainless steel fermentation, soft tannin, a sweet oak lift from staves rather than long barrel sleep. Australia's largest family-owned wine exporter built it that way on purpose.

Good to know

Yellow Tail questions, answered

Is Yellow Tail a sweet red wine?
Yellow Tail red blends are off dry rather than dessert sweet. The fruit reads ripe and the oak adds a vanilla lift, but Big Bold Red and Shiraz Cabernet finish fairly dry. Jammy Red Roo is the sweeter outlier in the lineup.
Where is Yellow Tail wine made?
Yellow Tail is produced in Yenda, New South Wales, Australia, by Casella Family Brands. Grapes are sourced mainly from the South Eastern Australia appellation. John Casella founded the brand in 2001 on the family winery his parents began in 1969.
What is the alcohol content of Yellow Tail red blends?
Most Yellow Tail red blends sit around 13.5 percent alcohol by volume. That includes Big Bold Red, Shiraz Cabernet and the whiskey barrel aged red. Check the label on each bottle, since bottling runs can vary slightly by release.
What food pairs with Yellow Tail red blends?
Barbecue, burgers, grilled steak and tomato based pasta or pizza all work. The soft tannin and forward fruit were built for casual meals rather than long aging. Serve slightly cool, around 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, and it stays fresh.
