James Halliday:  Rated as Highly recommended. Wines of great quality, style and character, worthy of a place in any cellar.  "Bright quartz-green; there is definite musk and apricot-tinged varietal fruit expression on both bouquet and palate; surprisingly, grown at Loxton in the Riverland by the Barich family. Doubly accredited, and a great advertisement for organic growing.  Drink to 2013."  Nov 2011

Wine Enthusiast:  Rated as Excellent, extremely well made and highly recommended.  "This represents a top value among Viogniers, which often carry a price tag loftier than their quality deserves. Not so in this case; the variety’s floral aromas are well displayed, backed by hints of melon, apricot & gingery spice. It’s fairly full bodied, with a slightly viscous texture that extends the warm finish." May 2011

Wine Spectator:  Rated as An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. "Broad, spicy, round and generous, offering a silky, polished mouthful of almond, floral, spice, pear and lychee notes. Drink now. 800 cases imported." Feb 2011

Winery:   "Straw in colour with green hues, the aroma of the Yalumba Organic Viognier 2010 is varietal and alluring showing lifted honeysuckle, lemon rind, apricot and peach aromas mix with hints of orange blossom,cashew and ginger. The palate is rich, textured, and harmonious resulting in a luscious wine with layers of spice, citrus and apricot. Enjoy with spicy Asian cuisine."

Wired For Wine:  Boy are we ready for some warm temperatures and a deliciously silky white to quaff while we sit outside (finally)!  Enter the Yalumba Organic Viogner from our mates down under...  Crafted from a vineyard which has been certified organic for over 10 years, the purest notes of this fruit shine through in an extraordinary final product.  The generous mouthfeel and gorgeous floral notes of your first glass of this Viognier will dazzle you as you enjoy it with lobster crisps drizzled with a creamy champage sauce.  As for the entree, the lovely and varied notes of fruit, from apricot to pear and lychee, along with the subtle hints of almond and spice, and its substantial body all combine to make this Yalumba a first rate choice fro fish, lobster, roast pork, chicken and much more.  We absolutely love it with Shenga Chat (Shrimp Curry Madras Style).  It's cooked with curry, garlic, garam masala and coconut milk, and to die for with the broad spectrum of this white's fruit.  Aromatic braised chicken with fried onions, after being cooked in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and a pinch of cayenne is another great option.  Quick and easy, but no less appetizing is a big bowl of spaghetti with cauliflower, green olives, toasted almonds and a generous sprinkling of parmesan.  When the dishes have been cleared, 0pen another luscious bottle and serve it with a nutty Petit Basque cheese.  Bottoms up winelovers!
