I was going to have a glass of Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier 2007 with dinner (a fish good enough for Jehova! ) since I thought a heavy white would work and since it was relatively cheap. I ended up having three, since I couldn't believe it was so good. I thought this was supposed to have been mass market crap, but 13,50€ apparently can get some pretty good mass market stuff even in Finland...
14,5% abv; 13,51€; 60% used oak; 40% steel, but the oak doesn't smell (gladly).
Greenish gold. Citric, floral scent, obviously Viognier, but very much in an elegant style rather than the style that makes fireworks out of the aromatics. It is even mineral. From the scent, I didn't expect a huge body, but it was still oily but with good supporting acidity. Strangely good - I had to check the label occasionally to see that I am really drinking a cheap Aussie Viognier - but the high alcohol does show a bit on the finish.
Apparently the winemaker who makes one of my favourite cheap Rieslings (Pewsey Vale) is also responsible for this.
