Yalumba Viognier South Australia Y Series (2021)

The Y Series Viognier is on the fresher, lighter end of the Viognier spectrum. It shows all the unique characteristics of this exotic variety, without being too rich on the palate. Bright straw in color with green hues. Aromas of orange blossom with fresh ginger, hints of honeysuckle and white flowers. Fresh apricot, white tea, dried figs and fennel lead to a creamy mid-palate with a silky, textural finish. Best paired with harissa chicken or crispy rice pancakes with potato and chickpeas. *This wine is in the process of changing the label and customers may receive one of the two labels displayed. Specific labels cannot be requested.

Tasting Notes

91 Wine Enthusiast
Despite being Yalumba’s entrylevel Viognier, this is one of its most delicious white offerings. Highly aromatic, it wafts a perfume of honeysuckle, orchard blossom and fuzzy peach skin. The palate is more viscous than the nose implies, but there’s enough acidity to keep it fresh. Peach and lemon flavors linger on the finish. Drink with Thai curry or a similarly bold Southeast Asian dish.

91 James Suckling
This has bright, ripe peach and apricot aromas with bright, floral perfume. There’s a very pure, ripe-apricot core to the palate and smoothly fleshy texture. Works well. Drink now. Screw cap.
