Mas de Daumas Gassac, Blanc 2020
Mas de Daumas Gassac is the Languedoc's great anomaly: a white wine that commands the attention and cellar time of a grand cru, in a region better known for sun-drenched reds. The blanc is a wild blend anchored in Viognier, with a cast of varieties that reads like a vinous curiosity cabinet, all grown on the estate's remarkable glacial flour soils north of Montpellier. "Main grapes: Viognier, Chardonnay and Petit Menseng with a small amount of Chenin Blanc. A unique wine with lots going on. Medium-bodied, layers of tropical fruits and honey. Long finish. Pair with French Onion Soup." Our note
Yalumba, 'The Virgilius' Viognier 2023
Fragrant and composed, this is Viognier with polish rather than excess. Aromas of apricot, white peach and honeysuckle lead into a textured, gently rounded palate, lifted by fresh acidity and a subtle savoury edge. Generous, but never heavy, with real balance and a long, elegant finish. Founded in 1849, Yalumba is Australia’s oldest family-owned winery and a quiet pioneer of Viognier. Virgilius sits at the top of their white range, reflecting the house style perfectly: expressive, thoughtful and built on fruit purity rather than overt winemaking.
