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.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
