Eden Valley

Yalumba The Virgilius Eden Valley Viognier

Viognier 2010

• Vintage quality: Growing season began with a cool, wet September followed by beautiful weather all the way to summer. An even summer followed, perfect for the ripening of flavours in the berries.
• Cellar guide: Showing signs of a great Viognier now but will reward medium term cellaring with even more layers of flavours and aroma.
• Last tasted: April 2013, Louisa Rose, Winemaker
• Notes: The 2010 season created a wine with both finesse and opulence, with layers of complexity and lusciousness. Pale gold in colour with green highlights, the nose has intense aromas of white peaches, apricots and ginger. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with mineral texture and complex apricots and white stone fruit flavours. The trademark Viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine which is rich, lush-textured and complex while at the same time showing restraint. Awards and Accolades: 2 Trophies, 3 Commendations, 4 Gold
