Yalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier 2015 (Australia)

Description

"This happy blend of two Rhône Valley grapes yields a substantial red (14.5% alc/vol) with plenty of ripe, plummy, spicy, slightly nutty flavour and a seductively smooth finish Bargain-priced" Michael Cooper, The Listner, May 2018

Luscious and exotic aromas of boysenberry, Turkish delight, vanilla bean and violets. The medium bodied palate is framed by flavours of sweet Turkish delight and violets, while soft tannins provide a perfect complement to the succulent finish, which shows the synergy between these two varieties.
Enjoy with duck and pork terrine or a red lentil curry with sweet potato, spinach and chick peas.

The Shiraz grapes selected for this wine are those which display the most perfumed and aromatic profile that compliments the fragrance of Viognier. Everything is done to preserve this aroma: cool fermentation, the addition of Viognier (including as many whole berries as possible) and no oak ageing are just some of the processes that go into the making of this wine. These combine to produce a wine that is bright, aromatic and exotic.
