Tasting Notes

  • Colour: Pale straw with a faint green tinge
  • Aromatics: White peach, apricot bloom, honeysuckle and a hint of tropical lychee
  • Palate: Creamy texture from extended lees contact in amphora; the palate shows peach-nectarine, citrus blossom, and tropical flair, balanced by bright acidity and finishing with a fine, persistent length

FAQ Wine Terms 🧐

What does amphora maturation do?
Clay amphorae allow gentle oxygen interaction and thermal stability, creating wines with texture and complexity without imparting oak flavours – perfect for fruit-driven whites.

Why is Viognier interesting in WA’s cooler regions?
In cooler climates like Blackwood Valley, Viognier retains aromatic lift and acidity rather than becoming over-ripe, resulting in freshness, elegance and varietal definition.

What should I expect in this bottle?
Expect an aromatic Viognier with stone fruit and tropical notes, creamy texture from amphora ageing, vibrant acid backbone and a dry, refined finish.
