Winemaker's Notes
Vibrant fruit, floral and perfume aromas spring from the glass, pronouncing peach, gooseberry, apricot, melon, jasmine, lavender and beeswax. These persist through the wine’s flavour with added accents of clementine, pineapple and mango blending into a bold, sustained finish.
100% Viognier, picked October 16th at the Stouck Family Vineyard as grape sugars averaged 21.8° Brix.
Four-fifths of the grapes were de-stemmed and crushed. Juice and skins soaked together for 12 hours in a chilled stainless-steel tank before pressing. The remaining 20% went direct to press in whole clusters. The press juice was cool-fermented and settled in stainless-steel before going to bottle in February 2021.
At the time of bottling, Alcohol measured 12%; Residual Sugar: 1 grams per Litre; Titratable Acidity: 6.28 grams per litre; pH: 3.39
Dry: 1 g/L residual sugar
Vegan friendly. Certified Sustainable.
