TW Gisborne Viognier 2019

Description

• Dry style
• Honeysuckle
• White peach
• Warming finish

Bright, twinkling pale gold, this wine shows wonderfully intense aromas of orange blossom, honeysuckle, hazelnut, and honey. The seamlessly elegant palate offers flavours of white peach and golden apricot syrup, with candied lime notes on the finish. The warming finish leaves the mouth tingling with apricot and sweet lime.

After a superb season, pristine bunches of Viognier were harvested in the cool morning, and then quickly transported to the winery. There the fruit was crushed and destemmed before being gently pressed to release the decadently ripe juice. After slight clarification by settling, the intensely flavoured opalescent juice was then transferred to another tank for cool fermentation. Aromatic yeast and carefully monitored ferment temperature ensured that this Viognier expresses all of the delicate, vibrant aromas and flavours inherent to this wonderful variety. Prior to bottling this wine was gently fined with traditional proteins to prefect the palate experience.

Food Pairing: Fabulous with excellent seafood dishes and rich chicken creations.
