Yalumba The Y Series Viognier (2023)

Yalumba is Australia’s most historic family-owned winery. The Y Series collection combines authentic Australian winemaking practices with a vibrant approach inspired by modern flavors. The Yalumba Y Series Viognier is a great introduction to a relatively new varietal in Australia with which we’ve had extensive experience in growing and making. It showcases all the unique characters of Viognier, yet it’s not overpowering in its flavor profile. Wild yeast fermentation and Yalumba’s extensive experience in Viognier make this a truly special wine that comes from both cool and warm climate vineyards in South Australia.

Bright straw yellow in color with green hues. Aromas of orange blossom and fresh ginger dominate the nose, with hints of honeysuckle and white flowers. Fresh pineapple, Chinese white tea and dried figs lead into a creamy mid palate with a silky textural finish. Wild fermentation and lees ageing give the wine an extra level of complexity on the palate that belies its youth.
