Yalumba The Y Series Viognier 2016, South Australia
Critic Reviews (2)
This is great value - with classic, quite lovely viognier bloom that includes star anise, ginger, pineapple and lemon...
A nose is rather discreet, given the nature of the grape variety. The mouth is definitely more expressive, nicely...

Excellent viognier from south Australia
, Yalumba's expression of this northern Rhone white variety is astounding for the 15$ price tag. Highly recommended!
Medium body, floral and baked pineapple on the nose. Lots of stone fruit- peach and apricot initially and finishes with a kick of white pepper. Well balanced with acidity and lengthy finish. Tasted August 2017.

An interesting flavour profile with tropical fruit flavours like pineapple along with citrus fruit. A slightly viscous, almost oily texture yet still has enough acidity to keep the wine crisp an clean tasting. Really excellent value for $14. Tasted Sept 2017.
