Yalumba The Virgilius Eden Valley Viognier 2002
Varietal: Viognier
Vineyard: Yalumba
Region: Barossa Valley, Australia
The Yalumba Wine Company has pioneered the development of Viognier in Australia. The evolution of Yalumba's pre-eminent white wine - "The Virgilius" is the culmination of 20 years of work with this demanding Rhone variety. Yalumba began planting Viognier in 1980 which was the first commerical planting of the variety in Australia. Yalumba 'The Virgilius' 2000 is pale gold in colour with lovely green highlights. The nose shows intense scented perfume aromas with musk and apricot nectar. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with a mineral texture and complex stone fruit flavours.
