Yalumba are the champions of Viognier and have been continually refining the style they produce. Gone are the rich oily, over-ripe apricot-laden styles of the past. The style now is much finer, yet with the hallmark slightly ginger spice, lemon balm and firmly ripe apricot. Not OTT, there is balance and restraint. Drink this with firm white seafoods such as scallops, prawns and squid.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Yalumba has pioneered the growing and making of Viognier in Australia since our first vineyard plantings high in the Eden Valley in 1980. The grapes are sourced from seven separate blocks across five different vineyards, artfully blended together to create the final wine.
Alluring aromas of fresh apricots, ginger and delicate white flowers. Silky and long with lush, layered texture, the palate features apricot and stone fruit flavours complemented by a touch of exotic spice, hints of orange oil and a refreshing finish. 50% of the blend was fermented and matured for 10 months in older French oak puncheons and hogsheads."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Totally excellent value wine with flavour texture and classic varietal signatures of flowers and spice, white apricot and apple. A delicious satin texture with medium+(ish) acid line and just right concentration that can only come from vine age and hands-off wine making. Already balanced, definitely well made and ready for drinking form day of purchase through 2030. Again, this is excellent value."

Yalumba, Australia's oldest family-owned winery, was founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith in Angaston, South Australia. The name "Yalumba" is believed to be a local Peramangk word meaning "all the country around," and the company acknowledges the Peramangk people as the traditional owners of the land. The winery has been a significant part of Australian wine history, known for its iconic blends like Cabernet and Shiraz, and acclaimed wines such as The Signature and The Caley.
Yalumba is unique for operating the Southern Hemisphere's only fully operational cooperage and a leading global vine innovation nursery. With a strong commitment to sustainability and a minimal-intervention winemaking philosophy, Yalumba sources grapes from renowned Australian regions.
