Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier 2005

An interesting, flavoursome, savoury and meaty viognier whose pungent, floral bouquet of apricots, honeysuckle, cloves and cinnamon overlie creamy, leesy nuances. Rather complex, wild and woolly, its chewy palate begins with lively forward fruit but becomes quite smoky and charcuterie-like towards the finish.

Winery

Yalumba
The historic Yalumba winery is the centrepiece of a series of the Hill-Smith family-owned vineyard holdings throughout South Australia and other states. Yalumba's wines largely focus on the Barossa (which incorporates the Eden Valley subregion) and contain several flagship labels. There's a seamlessness, elegance and integration characteristic of Yalumba wines, whose reds typically incorporate some tightly-knit cedary oak from the company's own cooper. The 2012 The Signature red, the finest under this label I have tasted, exemplifies this perfectly. Even the 2009 Octavius, from a hot season, is more elegant and savoury than the occasional fruit an oak bombs that have preceded it. Another 2012 release worth seeking is the Tri-Centenary Vineyard Grenache -  a regional classic.
