At more than 160 years old, Yalumba is now the oldest family owned winery in Australia, home to one of the largest viticulture nurseries and the only winery cooperage in the country.
Yalumba was also the first to commercially plant Viognier in the Barossa Valley in 1980 and for many wine lovers, this wine was their first taste of the Viognier variety. It's a popular wine for a reason - wild honey, ginger biscuits, lime peel, peach stone and mango aromas roll into smoke and exotic spice and floral tones. It has a seductive oily weight and plenty of juicy acidity to balance the sweet spice, stone fruit, citrus and ginger flavours. It has lovely concentration and a spicy, mouthwatering finish.
A delicious wine with spicy fish tacos or exotic Moroccan dishes.
