Winemaker's Notes:

Yalumba 'The Virgilius' Eden Valley Viognier is one of Yalumba's most distinguished white wines and the premium Viognier offering. With more than 26 years of experience with this variety, Yalumba today is one of the most influential producers of Viognier in the world. Late 2005 saw the beginning of the planting of the first Viognier clonal selections that had been propagating in the Yalumba Vine Nursery in the Barossa. Eight different clones were planted on the south eastern park of the Yalumba Eden Valley vineyard - the "Virgilius Vineyard" on Flaxmann Valley Road. The 2007 season created a wine with both finesse and opulence, with layers of complexity and lusciousness. On the nose the aroma is intense with white peaches, apricots and ginger. The palate is lifted with ginger spice, layered mineral texture and complex apricots along with white stone fruit flavours. The trademark Viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine which is unctuous and complex while at the same time showing restraint that should ensure good cellaring for at least 3-4 years.
