Gladstone Vineyard Estate Viognier 2019 (6 x 750mL) Wairarapa, NZ

Description:

Winemaking

100% Viognier from Dakins Road vineyard. A mix of Stainless Steel and Oak ferment and aged in old barrels

with monthly stirring. The fruit was hand-picked and gently pressed using a Champagne-style press cycle to

give clarity and minimize phenolic extraction from the thick Viognier skins. The juice was cooled to 5°C and

settled for 24 hours before racking and fermenting on a selection of cultured yeasts at 12°C to maximize fruit

characteristics and add complex aroma notes. 51% was fermented at a slightly warmer temperature with

indigenous yeasts in neutral barriques and puncheons to add texture, weight and complexity

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Straw colour. Rich and complex nose, Apricots, peaches, almonds, brioche. Subtle ginger spice in the background. On the palate the wine is typical of varietal. Oily and fat, but balanced by candied citrus notes and lively acidity. The length is generous with beautiful nutty avours.
