Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2010


According to their website: A bright yellow straw in colour, the Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2010 exhibits an alluring mix of honeysuckle, candied ginger and glace´ pineapple aromas, which are typical of this exotic variety. In the mouth the palate has flavours of fresh pineapple and dried figs. It is finely balanced with silky texture from wild fermentation and lees aging. A wine of poise, which is delicious with zucchini flowers stuffed with a goat’s cheese, pine nut and baby spinach mousse. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

750 mL, 14.5% Alc. by vol., Specs, $9.89

I bought it because it was less than $10, has some kind of weird tentacle thing on the front, and the bottle mentions hints of lychee. It was very smooth while it was still cold, but if it heats up a bit the citrus notes become slightly harsh. Sweet, but not too sweet. I had trouble getting a good smell from it. It has a little bitter after taste, but nothing a sweet cheese couldn't cure! I would definitely buy this again as long as it doesn't creep too high above $10.
