About The Wine
The Yeringberg Viognier is a relative newcomer to this iconic estate.
The fruit is picked at two stages, the first giving freshness, spice and vital acidity, the second and later pick bringing the generosity of flavour and the weight to the wine. The fruit is fermented wild in barrel and the wine is left to rest for a couple of years prior to release.
All efforts are taken to build complexity with restraint into this often overblown variety, and the result is a rich, flavourful Viognier. It's a winning combination and one that Sandra de Pury is executing wonderfully.
About Yeringberg
There are few wineries in the Yarra Valley with the prestigious history of Yeringberg. The de Pury family were pioneers of the region, having one of the first vineyards in the region over 100 years ago.
The original vineyard was ripped out when the damand for Australian wine slowed to a trickle, however the site was replanted in the 1970s and is one of the great sites of the modern Yarra.
In James Halliday's opinion, "...(Yeringberg) are renowned for wines of finesse and elegance that epitomise the finest the region can produce."

From The Producer
Never a wine to hide its light under a bushel, Viognier really grabs your attention with its exotic, perfumed opulence and flamboyance. Ours is immediately inviting, full of rich apricot, mango and orange blossom aromas that are beautifully framed by delicate floral notes, and hints of spice, candied ginger and musk. The palate offers the same flavours with more intensity, and a delicate pithy acidity which keeps everything fresh and lively. A hedonistic wine of really wonderful volume, depth and generosity, it’s a wine of deliciously moreish joy. Enjoy now or over the next 5 years.

Critic Reviews
"Few producers can match Yeringberg's viognier. Harmony is the aspiration, achieved by picking fruit over 8 days, so there's acidity, freshness and ripeness. There's also wild fermentation in barrel, no mlf and maturation in large-format, used oak. Ripe stone fruit, apricot and kernel, with ginger cream drizzled in honey. All tempered by lemon zest acidity and lime marmalade tang. There's richness here, without heaviness. A lovely viognier." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
"Hits all the Viognier markers. Jasmine, ginger, fresh apricot, lime and lemon. It’s bright, packed with varietal flavour, yet keeps itself trim and lively, succulence and perfume, heady spice and fine powdery texture, with a lychee and ginger laden finish of excellent length. All just so. Top shelf." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
