Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier 2016

  1. Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier 2016 (6x 750mL).

Wine Summary Image

Traditionally, the Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier wines have been crushed and fermented together as batches of Shiraz grapes each with a small percentage of Viognier grapes. However in 2006 we began to utilise the skins only of the Viognier grapes by first separating most of the juice from the Viognier skins and then fermenting the remaining skins with select parcels of Shiraz grapes. This method of using skins on their own provides us with another dimension of aroma and texture that increases the flavour and complexity of this alluring wine. 2015 we introduced whole bunch fermentation, approximately 15% for this vintage, adding an extra degree of complexity and intrigue to the wine. After fermentation all batches are drained, pressed and then racked to barrel for maturation.

Expert Reviews

"...it marks itself as just a little bit special."

94 Points

It’s just got that extra linger of flavour. It’s a smooth river of licorice, black cherry, sweet spice and deli meat characters and when combined with supple texture, fine-grained tannin and floral highlights it marks itself as just a little bit special. Cork.

Impressively aromatic and perfumed showing purple fruits, violets and dark cherries. A fragrant, seductive and alluring wine, it is smooth, fleshy, spicy and balanced with a long finish.

Winery Profile

Red 5 Star Winery -James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion Edition 2011

Family-owned and run by Robert Hill Smith, Yalumba has long had a commitment to quality and has shown great vision in its selection of vineyard sites, new varieties and brands. It has always been a serious player at the top end of full-bodied (and full-blooded) Australian reds, and was the pioneer in the use of screwcaps. While its estate vineyards are largely planted to mainstream varieties, it has taken marketing ownership of viognier. However, these days its own brands revolve around the Y Series and a number of stand-alone brands across the length and breadth of SA. Yalumba has been very successful in building its export base. Exports to all major markets.

"A gorgeous wine."

94 Points

From the cooler Eden Valley, this Shiraz Viognier is alluring and seductive. The Viognier component was pressed off with the skins added to the Shiraz ferment to increase texture and complexity. Fifteen percent Shiraz whole bunches were also used to add further interest. Pretty scents captivate from the outset. Blue flowers, violets and purple fruit swarm reaching out to entice. Such a refined wine now, the next few years will continue to draw its best. Raspberries dipped in dark chocolate run at you upon opening. Once that juvenile charm rushes through, you're met with red licorice, coconut husk and dark cherries. There's great width through the mouth with the words elegance and persistence bouncing around my mind. Fine spices close on a luxurious finish. A gorgeous wine.
