2009 Adelaide Hills Viognier

This 2009 Viognier is from a single vineyard site in the Adelaide Hills. I've used a number of diferent non-conventional and indigenous yeasts in the blend to get some complexity into the wine. The wine is aged on it's yeast lees as well to develop creaminess into the palate. Partial fermentation was also done in one year old French barrels.

Eden Valley and the Adelaide Hills are probably my ‘dream sites’ for growing Viognier, and it is expected that future releases will be a blend of both regions..I'm constantly on the look out for potential sites to source this variety from, as it really is a site specific variety.Until then though....This release shows the classic Viognier traits of white peach and nectarine on the nose, with a textured palate.

Price = $28 per bottle, plus freight.
