Yalumba Samuel’s Collection Eden Valley Viognier 2020

Eden Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe Eden Valley Viognier released under the Samuel's Collection honours Samuel Smith, founder of Yalumba. Winemaker Louisa Rose works with 11 blocks and seven separate vineyards that age on their lees in various older French oak vessels for ten months. The nose is viognier fragrant, pitching honeydew, white flowers, and lime rind. On the palate, the sweet, peach, lush fruit spreads from front to back across a creamy layer streaked with lime rind and spice. So firm and tight, it sets up nicely for the dinner table. Famed British food and wine writer Fiona Beckett thinks the match is mild spicy noodle dishes like Pad Thai, or chicken salads with apricot, peach or mango. Or try my favourite, lamb tagine with apricot.Tasted: 05 May 2022Tasted by: Prices:
