Alpha Domus The Wingwalker Hawke's Bay Viognier 2025

Description

Dry, Floral, Nectarine

"Fragrant and aromatic with scents of spice and fine lees, floral and nicely complex, nothing overdone. White and yellow apricot then red apple and a seam of peach. A dry wine with a satin texture and filling mouthfeel, flavours of white fleshed fruits and apricot, a leesy spice and generous complexity. Balanced and well made, tautness and youthful ensure some cellar time available if desired. Best drinking from late 2026/early 2027 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jan 2026

"Viognier has the narrowest of windows to harvest the fruit at optimal flavour, sugar and acidity. The best flavours come right at the end of ripening and can dissipate quickly if left too long, luckily our organic Viognier is located right next to the winery. This hand picked vintage has an enticing bouquet of floral aromas, mango and gardenia, along with apricot and orange blossom. A dry finish is complemented by soft acidity, round mouthfeel, and long-lasting flavours" Michael Cooper
