Vintage 2010+
We picked our 2010 Viognier on the 11th April at a tiny low yield of 750g per vine. It has retained the deep yellow colour of the ripe grapes and offers a heady wine with rich aromas and flavours of apricot, peach and tropical flowers.
Hans' Winemaking Comments+
'Destemmed and gentle pressed was followed by a wild yeast fermentation in French oak puncheons (500lt). The young wine went through a secondary fermentation with its lees regularly stirred. Aged for 12 months in the same barrels before bottling.'
Original Tasting Notes+
Declared as one of the ‘World’s Greatest Wines’ - a true firework of flavours! Full-bodied with significant weight and texture balanced by a good acidity that provides a remarkable backbone to the wine.
