Yalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier (75cl, 14.5%)

Yalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier is an unoaked South Australian red wine blending Shiraz with Viognier, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Winemakers select perfumed Shiraz parcels to complement Viognier, using cool fermentation, wild yeast, whole berries and no oak ageing. The aim is aromatic preservation, with fruit purity and floral lift to the fore. The nose shows Turkish delight, violets, ripe cherry, boysenberry and white pepper, with a stone-fruit lift from Viognier. The palate is full-bodied, with sweet cherry, boysenberry, spiced plum and red summer berries, plus a subtle leafy edge. The finish is medium, with powdery, easygoing tannins and a lingering cherry-ripe character.
