Yalumba, Y-series Viognier

The Viognier depicts vine cuttings. Vine cuttings are the beginnings of a new vineyard, planted after careful sorting, grafting and bundling in our state-of-the-art Yalumba Nursery. This thoroughly alluring wine evokes hints of honeysuckle, lemon and lychees.

The grape growing season that produced the 2012 vintage was one without extremes. Conditions were moderated throughout 2011, leading to good soil moisture at the beginning of the growing season. Average temperatures though spring and early summer allowed the vines to flourish giving healthy balanced canopies and good fruit set. Mild conditions through January to March lacked any real heat waves and allowed the grapes to ripen in ideal conditions producing grapes with outstanding depth of flavour.
