A variety of yeasts were used, but mainly X16 and VL1. Following maturation in both oak and stainless, the wine was blended and tankered to our Katikati winery for final finishing and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"WinePortfolio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488263971133,"sku":"FVH31201","price":83.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/17295-1.jpg?v=1729031825","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/falconhead-hawkes-bay-viognier-2020","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
