Buy OnlineWe all love a great value quaffing white and this Yalumba Y Series Viognier is that and a whole lot more.
Yalumba first planted Viognier in 1980 and have gone on to become true champions of this unique and seductive variety. The Y Series Viognier offers a great introduction to those that aren't so familiar with it and a top value and great drinking style for those that are. This is a very affordable wine that offers loads of flavour personality and charm – it could be your new best friend… seriously though, it is probably the best drinking white wine around that you'll find at this sort of price.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Bright straw in colour with green hues. Aromas of apricot nectar with fresh ginger, hints of honeysuckle and white flowers. Jasmine, Chinese white tea, dried figs and fennel lead into a creamy mid-palate with a silky, textural finish. The wild fermentation and lees aging gives the wine an extra level of complexity on the palate that belies its age.
The growing season started with a very cool, wet winter and spring that lasted into early summer. A break from the heavy rains, combined with continued cooler temperatures, created ideal conditions for a long, slow growing season. Plentiful soil moisture allowed for large canopies which helped the grapes attain flavour ripeness at slightly lower sugar levels than usual."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"A fabulous expression of the variety, showing ripe apricot, mango, green rockmelon, and white floral aromas on the nose. The palate is silky-smooth and fleshy, beautifully framed by finely pitched acidity, finishing long and succulent."

"It takes just a minute for the bouquet of this wine to fully open with aromas of white apricot apricots and peaches with a whisper of apple and white spices. A satin texture touches the palate first then a vibrant acid line and core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet layer in. Lovely weight and intensity, dry, fruity, varietal and with a decent finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2025."
90/100 Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com, April 2025 (2022 Vintage)
"Sweet pear and apricot fruit here with some nice peach stone notes adding an interesting savoury, bitter counter to the bold lush fruit. Notes of aniseed and herbs add interest. Mouthfilling, nicely complex, and varietally true."
