Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2011

Pale straw in colour, the 2011 Y Series Viognier has aromas of honeysuckle, poached quinces and mandarin peel so evocative of this exotic variety. The palate is rich in texture and body thanks to wild yeast fermentation and
ageing on lees, yet retains a refreshing quality that make it a pleasure to drink.
Flavours to be found on the palate include grapefruit peel, lemongrass and stonefruit, while the texture adds layers of fruit persistence.

Expert Review

Polished, open-textured and nicely balanced to let the pear, apricot and clove flavors come through clearly, lingering on the finish. Drink now. 16,000 cases imported.

Food Pairings

Viognier is just the wine to accompany any dish rich in butter or cream which may be common knowledge but less well known perhaps is its affinity to dishes spiced with cumin or curry.
