Tasting - Yalumba Y Series Viognier

Name: Yalumba Y Series Viognier
Variety: 100% Viognier
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $13

Winery Review: Pale straw with green hues. Honeysuckle and jasmine with poached quinces and mandarin peel. Grapefruit pith, lemongrass and stonefruit flavours while the texture adds layers of fruit persistence. The wild yeast fermentation and ageing on lees are responsible for delivering a rich silky mid palate whilst the wine maintains a refreshing quality that make it a pleasure to drink.

My Review:
The nose was a little difficult to extract but there were hints of grass and citrus with tiny herbal component. The taste was of mainly stonefruit with grapefruit behind it with some herbal trimmings. It was silky on the palate and went down smooth with a short finish. It was refreshing but left me wanting something more. Not the best Viognier I've had and not my go to but it had some nice qualities and upside. It's just not for me.
