"Ripe and delicately luscious viognier with apricot, mandarin, ginger and honeysuckle flavours. An attractive wine that gets structure from fine tannins and gentle acidity. A great buy at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2021

"Bright, pale yellow with a slight green hue, even colour throughout. The nose is elegant, softly full with aromas of peach, quince, apple cider entwined with a hint of ginger and elderflower. Medium-full bodied, the palate is fresh with a layer of ginger dusting over peach, quince, apple cider extended with elegant florals. The fruit is ripe with a crunch, balanced acidity adorned by ginger spice added interest. This is an accessible Viognier with crunchy, ripe fruit, spice and floral details on a balanced palate. Match with Chinese dim sum over the next 2-3 years. Wild fermented to 13.5% alc, 1.2g/l RS, aged on lees" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Sep 2021

Bright straw in colour with geen hues. Aromas of orange blossom with fresh ginger, hints of honeysuckle and white flowers. Fresh apricot, white tea, dried figs and fennel lead to a creamy mid-palate with a silky, textural finish. The wild fermentation and lees aging gives the wine an extra level of complexity on the palate that belies it age.

Good Winter and Spring rains enabled the vines to grow healthy canopies. Summer was warm to mild with cool nights, great for the development of pristine aromatics and flavours. Vintage 2021 has produced Viognier grapes of balance, style and exceptional varietal characteristics.
