Tasting Notes

A ripe, fresh palate packed with citrus fruit and hints of jasmine and white spice. A tight, focussed style of Viognier with subtle varietal flavours.

Production

Grapes are sourced from the Worcester area, where a continental climate brings very cold winters that enable vines to rest before a vigorous summer. Here the vineyards need to be irrigated, but yields are controlled by suckering in November - this ensures the vine's energy is directed to the most important shoots and also to promote good air flow in the canopy.

Given the high summer temperatures, the grapes are picked at a good maturity and ripeness using machine harvesters to ensure speed to cellar at cool temperatures. Careful winemaking results in terrific varietal expression and freshness.

Food Matching

Fish, chicken, and spicy Asian-inspired dishes.

Versatile white wine

It is dry enough to accompany seafood but full enough to cope with stronger flavours. A very satisfying wine.
