Product Notes

Yalumba's The Virgilius Viognier is a distinguished wine hailing from Australia's Eden Valley. It boasts a vibrant, golden hue, with a complex bouquet of fresh apricot, ginger, and honeysuckle. This exquisite wine professes depth and sophistication, offering a multi-layered palate of white peach, cumquat, and creamy nougat, underpinned by a mineral backbone. The well-structured, lengthy finish, and alluring texture make The Virgilius a culinary delight. A subtly oaked, full-bodied wine, it reflects the dedication of Yalumba winemakers in their quest for quality and innovation. Truly, it's viognier at its pinnacle. Well-deserving of high praise and equally high expectations. Recommended with fish or poultry dishes.

Tasting Notes

The nose has intense aromas of early season just picked apricots, cardamom, white pepper and fresh ginger. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with mineral sourdough like texture and complex apricots and almond savouriness. The trademark Viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine. It is complex while at the same time showing purity and restraint that will unwind slowly in the glass and take the imbiber on a sensory journey.
