Wine Description
The Saint Clair Origin Hawkes Bay Viognier 2021 offers a vibrant expression of the renowned Viognier grape, with a small touch of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris to complement its richness. This elegant New Zealand wine showcases a bouquet of aromatic fruits, dominated by ripe white peach, apricot, and apple. On the nose, the fragrance of almond blossom mingles harmoniously with delicate hints of spice, creating an inviting and complex profile.
On the palate, the wine reveals a creamy texture that seamlessly transitions into a refreshing and subtly spiced finish, marked by notes of clove and nutmeg. The wine’s balance of fruit and spice is both captivating and satisfying, with a dry yet mouth-filling sensation that lingers on the tongue. Ideal for pairing with light seafood, creamy cheeses, or roasted poultry, this Viognier is the perfect choice for those seeking a sophisticated white wine with depth and character.

| Winery | The grapes for this wine are grown in Saint Clair's vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels region of Hawkes Bay. The 10-year-old vines are planted on the stoniest part of the vineyard. These stony soils are vigour-moderating free-draining soils, ideal for growing Viognier. The vines are trained using the VSP Guyot system, and as a result, there is reasonably high exposure reflected in the ripeness of the wine. The grapes are harvested in the cool of the night, preserving the varietal characteristics. |
