South Australia, AustraliaYalumba has a long history with viognier, dating back decades, and has the largest plantings of viognier vineyards in the world. The introductory Y Series label is a wonderful introduction to this honeysuckle and jasmine scented grape that seems to rise above its station under winemaker Heather Fraser’s touch. The palate is mix of fresh apricots, lemongrass, ginger all wrapped up in a silky package. Rich but fresh, and certainly capable of matching a wide variety of Asian inspired dishes.Tasted: 18 October 2016Tasted by: Prices:
South Australia, AustraliaCredited with reinstating and introducing a dying-off grape, Yalumba now has the greatest plantings of viognier in the world. This vintage of Y Series brings the classic lush apricot, jasmine, ginger and honeysuckle to a rich, spicy and full palate. At 14.5 percent alcohol, this can and absolutely should be paired with protein - think Ahi tuna tataki with papaya salad.Tasted: 08 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:
