Y Series Shiraz Viognier

At Yalumba we believe that one good wine leads to another. The Y Series was created with that belief in mind. The Y Series represents a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals. Each authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.

Tasting Notes

Luscious and exotic aromas of boysenberry, Turkish delight, vanilla bean and violets. The medium bodied palate is framed by flavors 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.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with duck and pork terrine or a red lentil curry with sweet potato, spinach and chick peas.

About the Vineyard

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.
