Eden Valley

Yalumba The Virgilius Eden Valley Viognier

Viognier 2021

Vintage quality:

Eden Valley experienced its third below average rainfall winter in a row. Sufficient rain fell in spring to get the vines growing and the following mild growing and ripening season was perfect for an excellent quality vintage.

Cellar guide:

The Virgilius, while showing all the virtues of great Viognier as a young wine, will reward cellaring as it evolves in the bottle, with even more layers of flavour and aroma.

Last tasted:

Notes:

Pale gold with green highlights. Aromas of white flowers, fresh apricots, cardamom, white pepper and fresh ginger. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with mineral, sourdough-like texture, apricots and almond savouriness. The hallmark Viognier texture of the palate is clearly evident in this wine. It is complex while at the same time shows purity and restraint that will unwind slowly in the glass and take the imbiber on a sensory journey.
