Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier 2008

Back in 1980, when Viognier was all but extinct in the world, Yalumba began an intriguing journey to become one of the most influential producers of Viognier in the world. When Yalumba began its love affair with this exotic Rhone varietal it was the slightly elevated slopes of Eden Valley, that were considered the ideal site for planting Viognier vines, becoming Australia`s first significant Viognier vineyard.
Fermented and matured for 10 months in older French oak Barriques and Hogsheads. Pale gold with green highlights, with a nose of pure aromas displaying apricot nectar, lifted honeysuckle and orange oil perfume. The palate is long, rich and luscious, with intense stone fruit - particularly white peach and apricot flavours, finishing with an aromatic citrus freshness. Screwcap.
