Yalumba The Y Series Viognier 2021
South Australia, AustraliaEntry level wine has always played an essential part in my quality calculations regarding the measure of any winery. At Yalumba, the Y Series consists of 11 wines, and one of the best is the Viognier. With the most extensive planting of viognier on the planet, Yalumba winemaker Louisa Rose has a virtual playground of vines to choose from. In the case of the Y, she blends fruit across Southern Australia. The key is there is no giant tank. Instead, each parcel is natively fermented, bringing the necessary prerequisite to the blend: white flowers, apricot nectar, bright acidity, and zest. I love the fresh and peppery style with crunchy green melon, lemon pith, and subtle apricot flavours. It would also work with Asian chicken dishes or as the perfect foil for vegetable pan dishes.Tasted: 05 May 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $16.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
