Sam Kim - Review
It's elegantly lifted on the nose with apricot, fig, rock melon and crunchy apple characters with a hint of spicy overtone. The palate displays ripe fruit intensity with supple texture and bright acidity, finishing lingering and refreshing.
Wine Making
The fruit was harvested early in the morning whilst the grapes are still cool, to lock in those perfumed aromas. The grapes were then de-stemmed and left sitting on the skins for several hours before pressing. Followed by a slow cold ferment, we managed to keep all the intense floral flavours.
Tasting Note
Our 2023 Viognier from the Nautical Collection "Sheepshank Knot" offers enticing white peach aromas that immediately captivate. On the palate, it reveals concentrated stone fruit and delicate floral flavors, culminating in a succulent, lingering finish. This expertly crafted wine showcases the vibrant character and elegance typical of a premium Viognier vintage.
