Yalumba Gen Organic South Australia Viognier 2023 (Australia)

Description

Almond, Dry, Floral

"This is delightfully fruited and inviting on the nose, showing rockmelon, fig, apricot and lemon peel characters with a hint of ginger spice. The juicy palate displays a rounded mouthfeel and smooth texture, splendidly framed by fine acidity, making it fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2024

Pale lemon in colour with green hues. An exotic mix of white flowers, ginger and jasmine aromas with hints of apricot and fennel. The palate is creamy, rich and long with flavours of fresh apricot nectar and almond meal, leading to a succulent mid-palate with bright stone fruit flavours and Asian five spice on the finish.

Beautiful organic Viognier grapes are picked from the Barich family property adjacent to the Murray River at Loxton, the Bassham family’s vineyard in Barmera and the Yarra Vale Vineyard in Virginia. Meticulous work in all vineyards ensures that the grapes are in perfect condition when they are picked.

A very cool, wet winter and spring continued into early summer. Respite from the heavy rains allowed for a long, cool growing season. Plentiful soil moisture allowed for large canopies which helped the grapes attain flavour ripeness.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with red duck curry, Pad Thai or red lentil dhal with spinach.
