2021 Viognier

Winemaker notes:
Whole bunch pressed, cold settled, clean juice racked to French Oak Barrels, indigenous yeast alcoholic fermentation.  Lees stirred post ferment once a fortnight. Alc/vol: 13.5%

Ageing:
5 months in French Hogsheads and Barriques both new (25%) and used.  

Tasting notes:
This wine shows vibrant stone fruit flavours and just a hint of ginger spice that are true to variety.  Barrel fermentation adds an extra dimension.  Long, voluptuous and seamlessly balanced.  

Food Match:
Matches well with a variety of dishes such as  souvlaki,  lamb curry,  thai salads, pasta with cheese,  yellowtail sashimi, a spicy tuna roll, roast turkey, pasta with seafood, sea bass and a salad with chicken.

Awards:
