An exotic Turkish delight twist on Australia’s favorite grape variety, The Y Series Shiraz-Viognier is an unusual – yet classic – blend of Shiraz and Viognier that’s sure to intrigue the curious palate.
Wine Production
The Shiraz grapes selected for this wine are those that display the most perfumed aromatic profile that compliments the fragrance of Viognier. Everything is done to preserve this aroma: cool fermentation, addition of Viognier, including as many whole berries as possible and no oak ageing are just some of the thought processes that go into the making of this wine. These combine to give a wine that is bright, aromatic and exotic.
All Y Series wines are made with wild fermentation and the winemakers take a minimalistic approach with human intervention. The resulting wines are natural, vegan, gluten free and met by complex flavors that represent Yalumba's rich history of winemaking.
Tasting Notes
Bright crimson in color, with luscious and exotic aromas of cherry, boysenberry, hints of white pepper and violets. The full-bodied palate is framed by rose petals, chocolate and cherries. Velvety tannins provide a perfect complement to the chocolate and cherry finish which shows the synergy between Shiraz and Viognier.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with beef skewers or Moroccan spiced grilled eggplant covered in sautéed ripe tomatoes, chilli and fresh herbs.
