Yellow Tail (wine)
Australian wine brand
Yellow Tail (stylised [ yellow tail ]) is an Australian brand of wine produced by Casella Family Brands. Yellow Tail, as well as Casella Family Brands as a whole, are both based in Yenda, New South Wales.
History
In 1957, the Casella family, headed by Filippo Casella and his wife Maria, emigrated from Sicily to Australia.
Yellow Tail was developed for the Casella family winery to enter into the bottled wine market—having previously supplied bulk wine to other wineries. The Yellow Tail brand was developed in 2000 and was originally produced for the export market. It became the number one imported wine to the United States in 2011.
The namesake of the brand, Yellow Tail, is the yellow-footed rock wallaby (Petrogale xanthopus), a relative of kangaroos.
Vineyard
The vineyard produces approximately three percent of all wine and is around 540 acres (220 ha), located in the Riverina, Griffith, New South Wales, Australia.
Wines
Approximately a third of the grapes that are harvested by Yellow Tail are from their vineyard in Riverina, Australia. The rest are from other vineyards in South Eastern Australia.

Why this record matters
“Yellow Tail (wine)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Yellow, Tail and wine provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8051845. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1957, 2000 and 2011.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
