Diemersfontein Viognier Reserve

Description

Harvested very ripe. Making use of different yeast strains adds to the overall complexity of the wine. The wine was kept on the lees and stirred twice a week for the first two months to add to the mouthfeel of the wine and aid in the wood integration. At 8 months the barrelled portion was blended back with a 70% tank fermented batch.

Apricots, orange peel, citrus, and biscuit followed by a rich mouthfeel with lingering marmalade aftertaste. A concentrated wine to be enjoyed with smoked pork neck, risotto or Thai dishes
