Eden Valley

Yalumba The Virgilius Eden Valley Viognier

Viognier 2015

Vintage quality:

Perfect vintage conditions thanks to above average winter rains followed by a drier than average spring.

Cellar guide:

Showing signs of a great Viognier now but will reward short term cellaring with even more layers of flavours and aroma.

Notes:

The Virgilius Viognier is pale gold in colour with green highlights. The nose has intense aromas of early season just-picked apricots, cardamom and fresh ginger. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with mineral texture and complex apricots and cashew nut savouriness. The trademark Viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine. It is complex while at the same time showing purity and restraint that will unwind slowly in the glass to begin a sensory journey. At its best with food, The Virgilius complements a wide range of flavours, particularly dishes with spice and rich flavours.
