Acclaim
“Medium yellow in the glass with aromas of asphalt, white flowers and citrus. Flavors begin with citrus and ripe melon along with hints of white flowers and cut hay. The wine has a bit of roundness, nice acidity and a medium+ finish. Luxurious is the word that comes to mind to describe this Viognier, more like a cashmere sweater than a cotton knit, because of the roundness and palate-coating quality of the flavors. It’s a brilliant food wine and the floral notes come forward a bit with food. 100% Viognier is gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel using wild yeast. The wine remained on the lees for three months.”

Wine Production

After harvest the Viognier grapes were gently pressed and the juices handled with controlled oxidation. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks utilising the naturally occurring indigenous vineyard yeasts. The indigenous yeasts create layers of flavor, complexity and richness. After fermentation the wine remained on lees for three months, adding creaminess and palate richness.
