Yalumba 2011 Old Bush Vine Grenache

Family-owned with reasonably-priced offerings (very much the antithesis of Penfolds), these are enough reasons to place Oz oldest family winery in a good light. And quality is high across the board. Bright and fragrant aromas reminiscent of brambly red fruit, strawberry and licorice. Very transparent with little oak in the way. Tastes inherently sweet but far from overripe. Only mid-weight, svelte mouthfeel. Feels genteel, sincere. Lovely stuff! — ★★★½

Appellation: Barossa Valley Region: Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia Subzone: Cépage: 100% Grenache Abv: 14% Production: Élevage: Distributor: Monopole

Critic Reviews:

Vivid and open-textured, this bright red offers a lively mouth fell of guava, strawberry and spice flavors lilting through the finish. Drink now. Harvey Steiman (Wine Spectator, 06/30/2012) 89

Light, bright hue; a very attractive, light-bodied grenache, with red fruits ranging from red cherry to raspberry; minimal tannins and oak, and rightly so. James Halliday (Australian Wine Companion 2014, 10/07/2013)

Happy International Viognier Day!

Raising a glass to Viognier may seem a bit out of place in the mix of wine holidays. The white French Rhone variety isn’t the region’s most widely produced white wine, as it is often co-blended with Syrah to make a red wine. However, outside of France, producers have been highlighting the grape in single-varietal, full-bodied wines, like those produced in Australia by Yalumba. Yalumba is so…

Unveiling the World of White Wines in Singapore: A Paradise for Wine Enthusiasts

Singapore, a vibrant metropolis known for its dazzling skyline and culinary scene, also boasts a thriving wine culture. While red wines often take center stage, white wines offer a refreshing and versatile alternative, perfectly suited to the tropical climate. This article delves into the exciting world of white wines in Singapore, exploring popular varieties, local favorites, and tips for navigating the vast selection available.

A Global Journey in Your Glass: Popular White Wine Varieties

Singapore's wine scene reflects its cosmopolitan nature, offering an extensive selection of white wines from across the globe. Here's a glimpse into some of the most popular varieties:

Sauvignon Blanc: A perennial favorite, Sauvignon Blanc is known for its crisp acidity, vibrant citrus flavors (think grapefruit, lime), and refreshing herbal notes. Wines from New Zealand's Marlborough region are particularly celebrated for their distinctive grassy and gooseberry characteristics. Explore options from France's Loire Valley, South Africa's Stellenbosch region, or Chile's Casablanca Valley for a wider range of flavor profiles.

Chardonnay: This versatile grape variety can produce a spectrum of wines, from light and unoaked with hints of apple and pear to rich and buttery styles aged in oak barrels, developing notes of vanilla and toast. California, Burgundy in France, and Australia are renowned for their Chardonnay offerings.

Pinot Gris (Pinot Grigio): Often enjoyed for its light-bodied character, dry finish, and subtle flavors of pear, honeydew melon, and citrus. Italian Pinot Grigio tends to be lighter and crisper, while French Pinot Gris may offer richer body and texture.

Riesling: A fascinating grape known for its ability to produce wines ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. German Rieslings showcase a beautiful interplay of sweetness and acidity, often with notes of minerality, honey, and stone fruit. Explore options from the Rheingau, Mosel, and Pfalz regions for diverse styles.

Other White Wine Varieties: The world of wine white extends far beyond these popular choices. Consider venturing into the floral and aromatic world of Gewurztraminer, the refreshing minerality of Gruner Veltliner from Austria, or the tropical fruit notes of Viognier.

Local Gems: Exploring Singaporean Favorites

While Singapore may not have its own vineyards, its strategic location and free trade policies have made it a hub for wine distribution and appreciation. Local wine retailers and restaurants curate exciting selections, featuring established and emerging regions alongside well-known classics. Here are some Singaporean favorites to keep an eye out for:

New World Sauvignon Blancs: New Zealand Sauvignons Blancs are particularly popular in Singapore, with brands like Cloudy Bay, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc consistently gracing wine lists.

Australian Chardonnay: Australian Chardonnays offer a good balance between fruitiness and oak influence, making them crowd-pleasers. Look for labels like Penfolds, Yalumba, and Wolf Blass.

Unoaked Chardonnays: A growing trend in Singapore is the appreciation for unoaked Chardonnays, which highlight the pure fruit character of the grape. Explore offerings from Argentina or Chile for vibrant expressions.

Beyond the Classics: Pairing White Wines with Singaporean Cuisine

The beauty of white wines lies in their versatility when paired with food. Here are some suggestions for enjoying white wines with Singapore's diverse cuisine:

Spicy Dishes: The high acidity of Sauvignon Blanc cuts through the heat of spicy dishes like Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken or Thai curries.

Seafood: Light-bodied white wines like Pinot Grigio or unoaked Chardonnay complement the delicate flavors of steamed fish or shellfish dishes.

Dim Sum: Aromatic white wines like Gewurztraminer or Riesling can stand up to the rich flavors and textures of dim sum.

Nyonya Cuisine: The sweet and sour notes of Nyonya dishes find harmony with the off-dry styles of Riesling or Gewurztraminer.

Navigating the Wine List: Tips for Choosing a White Wine in Singapore

With such a vast array of options, choosing a white wine can feel daunting. Here are some helpful tips:

Consider the Occasion: Is it a casual gathering or a special celebration? Lighter styles like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio might suit a casual setting, while a richer Chardonnay or Riesling could elevate a special occasion.

Food Pairing: Think about the food you'll be enjoying and choose a wine that will complement the flavors.

Grape Variety Preference: Do you have a favorite grape variety? Explore different regions and styles within that variety to discover new favorites.

Budget: Wine prices can vary

The Samuel's Collection celebrates Yalumba’s founder Samuel Smith, who planted the winery’s first vineyard over a century and a half ago. The ’18 Barossa Bush Vine Grenache is medium-bodied and fresh with soft tannins and very good acidity. Aromas of red berry fruit and floral perfume are joined on the palate by a wisp of bay leaf and peppery spice. Enjoyable all on its own, this wine is versatile with a wide range of foods. It retails for $21 and is widely distributed. 🍷 #Yalumba #Grenache #AUSWine #wine #winelover #myvinespot https://www.instagram.com/p/CM0E_EPLOLr/?igshid=nk0gznqnw5d3

Yalumba 2014 Eden Valley Viognier

Yalumba have been a forefront champion of viognier down under. High-toned rose hand cream and peach on the nose. Luscious texture meets sensual drinkability on the palate, with more than a dash of orange blossom, apricot, pith and all. More than just a plump fruit extravaganza, this Barossa stalwart has bottled a piece of autumn sunshine. Snug. — ★★★½

Appellation: Eden Valley Region: Eden Valley, South Australia, Australia Subzone: Cépage: 100% Viognier Abv: 13.5% Production: Élevage: Distributor: Monopole

Critic Reviews:

Yalumba set the bar very high when it decided to make viognier its champion variety. Its Virgilius is Australia's best (and priced accordingly), but this wine has many of the characters of Virgilius with its complex pear and biscuity aromas; there is no oak even though the bouquet has barrel ferment-like complexity, the palate luxuriantly rich before the coup de grace of its fresh, crisp finish. Drink By: 2017. (James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion) 95
