Variety: Viognier

Region: Victorian

Tasting Notes: Apricot & Sherbet

Heady apricot aromas lead to sherbet and mandarin. The palate is vibrant, showing loads of quince, vanilla and a hint of fresh herb, all kept in check by a backbone of cleansing acidity.

Background Information: Given Viogniers co-habitation with Shiraz, it is no surprise that Australia rules the Southern Hemispheres production with more than 250ha in the ground. It is becoming increasingly popular.

This Victorian Viognier was picked fully ripe, maximizing flavour development and is not like some that have tread the fine line and have ended up with fat characteristics. It was fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fruit characters.
