Small Batch Viognier 2020 750ml

Vintage Detail | After a spring with few frost events, the new year brought with it the long, hot summer days and cool nights that Hawke’s Bay is known for. February saw no rainfall with very drying conditions in the lead up to harvest. Early ripening meant picking began at the start of March. An excellent vintage all round now paying dividends in the winery. Winemakers Notes | Sourced from our Gimblett Gravels vineyard our Viognier was harvested, gently pressed then fermented in a mixture of stainless steel and oak barriques at cooler temperature to maintain freshness and fruit expression. The wine was transferred to oak puncheons at the completion of fermentation and kept in contact with the yeast lees. Regular stirring of the lees enhanced mouthfeel, texture and viscosity.
