Yalumba Viognier The Virgilius Eden Valley 2016
Eden Valley, South Australia, AustraliaWe missed you Virgilius. This is our first meeting since 2012. The Virgilius is the flagship viognier at Yalumba, initially released in 2003 and the culmination of decades of research. This outstanding white is hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, wild fermented in French oak barriques before spending ten months under battonage. Even then, only the finest barrels make the cut. What I like most about Virgilius is that it continues to drop weight and power for finesse and aromatics. The 2016 is mouth-filling without being cloying. Apricot, mango, marmalade os flecked with citrus and gingersnap spice to a creamy lime pith finish that dances on palate, leaving it clean and ready for yet another bite of pasta or clams or a favourite vegetarian entrée.Tasted: 09 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| Australia | $74.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
