"(2020) Yalumba was the first producer of Viognier in Australia that really impressed me many years ago with a wine called 'Virgilius'. That wine will now set you back more than £30 per bottle, so I'm delighted to find this excellent example from the same region (The Eden Valley), made by the same winemaker, Louisa Rose, made with some barrel fermentation and wild yeasts, giving a similar character to its big brother. Aromas of lychee and jasmine dominate over peach and apricot, then the palate is powerful and broad, lots of grip and fruit weight and texture, a bite of graperfuit or marmalade orange bittersweet acidity into a long, intense finish. Watch the video for more information and food-matching ideas."

"(2018) Yalumba have long been masters of the Viognier variety, now quite widely planted outside of its Rhône Valley home, but sometimes producing wines that verge on being 'blowsy' and too alcoholic. Not here, with this 13% abv rendition from the cool-ish Riesling heartland of the Eden Valley. It doesn't miss out on the exotic and quite flamboyant aromatics of the variety, with lychee and a touch of sweet potpourri spice, nectarine fruit and yet a lightly flinty, smoky note too. In the mouth it juxtaposes sweet stone fruits with a lemon and lime-rind acidity, and that lightly salty and stony note adding definition. For more information and food-matching ideas, please watch the full video review ."

"(2003) Particularly distinctive nose. Lots of pear and citrus fruit, then a hint of more lush tropicality. Off-dry and very ripe palate. Very easy going, perhaps finishes a touch short."

"Offers up some talc powder aromas, and the sensation carries through to the palate, where there are also light and feminine flavors of melon, pear and white pepper. Hints of almond creep in on the finish. Pretty, light and clean."

"Viognier, according to Jane Ferrari, is Yalumba's "prime white varietal"; this bottling offers more toast and honey than anything that you'd see out of Condrieu. One whiff of the baked apple and pastry-crust aromas on the nose, and you'll be sucked in. It's medium-bodied and lively, with creamy, toasty oak and tropical fruit flavors that continue through the medium-length finish."

85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2001 with 85 of 100 points.
"The intense nose of this white Rhône varietal wine offers flower-shop and orange notes and an almost Gewürztraminer-like spiciness. Similar tart-sweet flavors prevail on the medium-weight palate, and high, almost cutting?acidity shows. The spicy finish has a bitter note and decent length. Unique and recommended for the adventurous palate."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier" from the vintage 2000 with 88 of 100 points.
"The family-owned Yalumba winery has made something of a speciality of its Australian Viognier, including one of the top wines in its range, the Virgilius. This wine, more modestly priced, has ripe peachy fruit, almost tropical, with a finely judged toasty element, leaving a fresh, creamy green taste in the mouth."
yr. 2003 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier" from the vintage 2003 with 87 of 100 points.
"Though aged in mature French barriques, this wine's toasty, leesy are in line with Yalumba's liberal use of oak. On the palate, it's lively and enjoyable, wtih light floral and honey notes atop white stone fruit. Medium-bodied; finishes with some fresh herb and a slick hard-candy feel."
