- An enticing and invigorating Viognier with aromatic and luscious notes of peach and apricot leading to a vibrant palate full of character and charm.
To ensure a medley of layered fruit flavors and aromatic freshness, a specific approach was employed in the cellar by working exclusively with free-run juice, followed by slow and controlled fermentation at low temperatures. 47% was barrel fermented and matured in neutral oak for four months, while 53% was fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on the fine lees in the tank to retain the vibrancy of the fruit.
The Viognier vineyards lie at the heart of Swartland at elevations ranging from 60 to 300 metres above sea level. Nestled in ancient sandstone and shale soils, the vineyards benefit from a unique combination of factors. The region experiences scorching, dry summers followed by cool, wet winters, creating an environment that maximizes the development of flavours and aromas in the grapes. Viognier is very well suited to the
dry-land conditions of the Swartland and thrives in the microclimate. The ample sunshine and warm temperatures during the growing season allow the grapes to fully ripen and develop their characteristic fragrant flavours and aromas. The vineyards are sustainably cultivated and the grapes are hand-harvested.
