Each authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.

About the Vineyard

The fruit for the Yalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier is sourced from our excellent resource of Shiraz and Viognier vineyards throughout South Australia.

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.

Tasting Notes

A bright crimson wine with a luscious and exotic aroma of Turkish delight, ripe red cherries and boysenberry and hints of white pepper. The full bodied palate is framed by flavors of sweet Turkish delight, cherries and boysenberry. Pleasing velvety tannins provide a perfect complement to the cherry ripe finish which shows the synergy between these two varieties.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with slow roasted Turkish lamb served with potatoes, yogurt and pomegranate salad or stuffed eggplants.
