Fruit from the Whitford vineyard, hand-picked and WBP, fermented
in stainless-steel to 13.8% alc. and <2.0 g/L RS, the wine undergoing
batonnage. Full, even straw-yellow
colour with light golden hues. The nose
is fresh and steely with tightly bound aromas of exotic white florals and
apricots interwoven with chalky, minerally notes. The core of florals unfolds saline elements
in the glass. Dry to taste and
medium-full bodied, the palate features an elegantly concentrated core of
exotic white florals and apricots. This
has fine phenolic textures and a slippery flow, suggesting an unctuous
mouthfeel. The wine has drive and underlying
alcoholic power carrying the palate to an elegant, rounded finish with
restrained musk and apricot notes. This
is an elegant, tight and dry Viognier with florals, apricots and musk on a
slippery, rounded palate. Match with
Middle Easterm and Asian fare over the next 3-4 years. Certified BioGro organic. 17.5+/20
