Tasting Notes
Aroma
Cantaloupe, green mango, ginger with hints of lees-derived complexity.
Appearance
Medium straw with an olive green hue and brilliant acidity.
Palate
Mandarin and cataloupe fruits spill onto a luscious palate. Some nougat and lees-derived characters add fruther richness. A finer version of viognier with lovely acid back bone.
Vinification
The fruit was gently whole bunch pressed and left to settle over night prior to racking. The primary ferment was fermented at cooler temperatures to retain fruit aromas. After primary ferment it was gravity fed into older French hogs head barrels in our underground cellar for further maturing. It was left on light lees to develop further complexity for 6 months prior to bottling in October 2024.
Vintage Notes
A perfect growing season was set up with good winter rains and a warm dry summer. Grapes were hand harvested in the cool of the morning at optimum flavour ripeness. A great year to grow Minnow Viognier.
Food Matching
Paella, Thai red curry, smoked eel.
