Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier 2021 VARIANT:750ML fine lees and a hint

fine lees and a hint of sour cream

On the nose it explodes with varietal intensity: raspberry

Syrupy crème de cassis appears on the close

from a 100-year old parcel

After a moment the wine shows itself to be generous and ethereal as it reveals plum

Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier 2021 VARIANT:750ML fine lees and a hintAn exceptional viognier, paired back from a more unctuous archetype, to one of resinous complexity and a phenolic edge to the leesy and subtly oaked textural patina. Savory and mid weighted, rather than overt or fat, as is often the way with this variety. Apricot pith, frangipani and verbena, compressed beautifully by the textural handling into an orb of tension. Lovely wine. James Suckling 94
