Golden Goose Late Harvest Viognier

Viognier from Block One is picked late in the harvest season to produce this delicate dessert-style wine. In this block layers of sandy clay loam over friable permeable clay sit above a carbonate layer with highly weathered rock below. This allows for moderate drainage and unrestricted root growth with good water holding capacity.

Vintage: 2021
Colour: Straw yellow in the glass with a pale, almost clear core.
Aroma: Abundant tropical aromas of apricot, yellow peach and mango, complimented with wafts of jasmine florals and spicy notes of glacé ginger and pineapple.
Palate: Flavours of peach and apricot jam dominate the richness of this fruit driven wine style. Delicate, spicy ginger and cinnamon flavours add a point of difference to the tropical fruits. The natural grape sugars retained during fermentation give flavour density and viscosity, with crisp acidity provides focus and line through the sweet flavour profile. Perfect harmony between sweetness and acidity.
