- Intense and fragrant rose petal and ginger spice lead a softly textured palate of apricot, peach and honeydew melon characters, lifted by a deliciously zesty acidity on the finish.
It is bottled in a reductive style, without oxygen contact, to retain its vibrant, fruity character. The grapes were destemmed, lightly crushed, cooled through a heat exchanger and pressed. The pressings were vinified separately, clarified, and fermented with neutral yeasts at 10 to 12°C temperatures, fermenting at 0.5 to 1°Baume per day. The wine was made unoaked without malolactic conversion to preserve its crisp character. It was then protein and cold stabilised, filtered, blended and bottled.

Winery | Tahbilk vineyards are grouped along the banks of the Goulburn River and an anabranch that flows through the estate. The water has a tempering influence on the climate. The vines are grown at approximately 134 metres of gently undulating and flat terrain. The soils are sandy loam with ferric oxide content, which varies from very fine sand near the anabranch to denser loams on the plains. The Viognier vines are cloned HTK and are grafted to Schwarzman rootstocks. They are trained on a single wire trellis with a mixture of head and cordon training and are spur-pruned. Tahbilk's vines are sustainably cultivated; composting and mulching take place, which improves soil health by promoting earthworm activity. Mulching helps to control weeds and conserves water, reducing vine stress. |
