Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier 2021

Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review writes "A whirl of aromas—peach, nectarine, honey, almond and spices—leads into a pleasing palate with breadth. It’s intense and dense, yet there’s lightness in its delivery. Flavours of brioche and crème caramel join in, thanks to judicious use of oak."

Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion writes "Widely considered to be Australia’s finest viognier from the stellar 2021 Eden Valley vintage. This is a very good confluence of events! As per usual, it is singing straight out of the bottle, showing all the characters that we have come to expect from this wine. Pristine stone and citrus fruits, the pitch-perfect textural components and savoury nuance. What is apparent, for a great year, is the shimmering acidity, precision, detail and clarity; all cranked up a notch with this release and the wine’s energy and drive are spot on. There’s been a pretty good run of vintages in this neck of the woods recently but this is the best Virgilius I have seen thus far."
