Produced by Yalumba, Australia's oldest family-owned winery established in 1849, the 2023 ‘Y’ Series Viognier is a pure expression of the grape sourced from selected vineyards across South Australia's diverse regions, including the historic Eden Valley where Yalumba planted the nation's first commercial Viognier vines in 1980. This pioneering commitment to the variety is reflected in sustainable viticulture practices, with hand-harvested grapes undergoing wild yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks to capture the grape's inherent aromatics and freshness. The wine undergoes minimal oak influence, emphasizing its vibrant fruit character and balanced structure, derived from a blend of cool-climate elegance and warmer-site ripeness, resulting in a versatile white that highlights Yalumba's expertise in this Rhône-inspired varietal.
Tasting Notes
This Viognier exhibits a pale straw hue with green tinges, offering aromas of ripe apricot, white peach, honeysuckle, and jasmine, accented by subtle ginger and herbal notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creamy texture, flavors of stone fruits, grapefruit, and a touch of vanilla, supported by lively acidity and a clean, mineral-infused finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2023 ‘Y’ Series Viognier earned 88 points and a Top Value Award from The Real Review, with critic Gabrielle Poy praising it as a "loud and proud Viognier" ideal for immediate enjoyment.
