This wine is the ideal accompaniment to foods with subtle spicy aromas and flavours. Although it spent 11 months in oak we strive to produce a wine that is still lively and fresh with varied and delicate flavours, showcasing the subtleties and finesse that Viognier is capable of.

The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning, force-cooled to 4 °C and pressed whole-bunch. Only the first light pressings were used. The juice was settled at 5 °C for 48 hours and then racked. A 25% portion underwent wild fermentation and the balance were inoculated with Vin 13 and CY3079 yeast in one third each of first-, second- and third-fill 500 litre Allier French oak barrels, using three different coopers. Fermentation continued for on average 21 days, the temperature of fermentation ranging between 13 and 18 °C. The wine was aged on its fine lees and malolactic fermentation was prevented to preserve the finer flavours.
