In your glass you will be greeted by a light straw colour. When tasting wine, the first impression lasts the longest. The 2021 Barrique Fermented Viognier makes a major impression. It is fragrant with mineral and lemon grass notes under pinned with stone fruit. The ‘Barrique Fermented’ Viognier has been a Gold Medal, Trophy winner in the past. This vintage is very good! 2021 ‘B.F.’ Viognier should continue the family tradition. Will age well for 7 - 8 years.

Grown at the Ohiti Estate Vineyard, the Viognier is cropped minimally and harvested just after the Chardonnay grapes. It is spur pruned and has only two cordons. Cropping levels across the vineyard are typically light and was harvested on the 30th and 31st March.

2021 was another exceptional growing season, producing premium quality Viognier fruit for this wine.

The fruit for this wine was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Fermentation was in a mix of new and seasoned oak barriques, which are placed in a temperature controlled cellar for the duration of the fermentation. It was then left on its lees for 9 months before racking and bottling.
