Acclaim
"Given the paucity of quality Viognier (or any Viognier) for under $15, this is a notable achievement. Musky, melony and spicy, it marries ample weight and breadth with just enough life-giving acidity."
— Wine Enthusiast, Jun 2017
"Vividly floral, with peach blossom aromas and a juicy core of stone fruit and melon flavors. Tangy on the finish."
— Wine Spectator, Jan 2018

Wine Production

After harvest the Viognier grapes were gently pressed and the juices handled with controlled oxidation. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks utilising the naturally occurring indigenous vineyard yeasts. The indigenous yeasts create layers of flavour, complexity and richness. After fermentation the wine remained on yeast lees for about three months, increasing the complexity by adding creaminess and palate richness.
