Viognier

Following the success of our previous vintages, the 2009 Viognier even more upfront fruit and explosive aromas as our previous vintages.

The grapes for this Viognier were picked at optimal ripeness, ensuring the typical peach and apricot aromas.

These grapes are sourced from the Babylonstoren vineyard located just 2km from Vrede en Lust.

Available in 750ml under Stelvin.

Style & Tasting Notes

A very expressive Viognier with typical apricot and peach flavours. Full bodied and delicately balanced with oak. The wine has an off dry level of residual sugar to compliment the full body, which follows through onto the palate.

Wine Making Notes

The grapes were crushed in February and the juice was settled in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place in 225 l new French and Hungarian oak barrels, as well as in stainless steel tanks. Post fermentation, the wine was aged on the lees for a few months in 225 l oak barrels
