Description

Our Viognier is a great food wine that will pair well with rich pasta, chicken and pork dishes. It’s made from grapes grown on a vineyard is situated on the mid-section of our farm, on a North Western Slope where the soil is dominated by gravel. Viognier is quite unique with berries that shrivel towards full ripeness. Sampling and tasting the fruit during ripening is of utmost importance to end up with a balance between fruit, alcohol and structure. The result is a wine with rich, intense aromas and tastes of white flowers, ripe fleshy peaches, apricots and desiccated pineapple followed through on the palate with an undertow of soft, buttery oak barrel flavours. Crisp, fresh and ready to drink now, but would become slightly richer and creamier with up to 3 years of bottle maturation.
