Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2022

Yalumba is Australia’s most historic family-owned winery. The Y Series collection combines authentic Australian winemaking practices with a vibrant approach inspired by modern flavors. While simple and contemporary at first sight, the bright labels show subtle layers when considered closely. Each varietal features a unique illustration symbolizing the relationship between the wine and nature.

The Yalumba Y Series Viognier is a great introduction to a relatively new varietal in Australia with which we’ve had extensive experience in growing and making. It showcases all the unique characters of Viognier, yet it’s not overpowering in its flavor profile. Wild yeast fermentation and Yalumba’s extensive experience in Viognier make this a truly special wine that comes from both cool and warm climate vineyards in South Australia.

 
After harvest the Viognier grapes are gently pressed and the juices handled with controlled oxidation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks utilising the naturally occurring indigenous vineyard yeasts. The indigenous yeasts create layers of flavor, complexity and richness. After fermentation the wine remains on lees for three months, adding creaminess and palate richness.
