Tasting note
Pale lemon-yellow color with a translucent edge that reflects a clear and bright wine. On the nose, a rich and exotic bouquet of ripe yellow stone fruits, gardenia flowers and honeydew with a touch of honeycomb and clove. On the palate, the wine surprises with a fresh but medium-bodied mouthfulness and medium-strength acidity. In the aftertaste, there is a slight hint of soft oak. On the first palate, the wine is light and sparkling, but surprisingly broad with a slight oiliness on the middle palate.
Culinary recommendation
Perfect with spicy curries with poppadums, naan bread and sambals or fruity tagines. It goes well with soft and semi-soft cheeses such as chevre, gouda and brie. Spicy butternut squash soup and honey-glazed root vegetables complement the aroma of the wine.
Vinification
High up on the western slope of the Tygerberg, about 200 meters above sea level, 7 kilometers from the Atlantic, the Viognier vines stand on well-drained blue slate soils with gravel and clay backgrounds. When using the VSP education system, a typical harvest reaches 7-8 tons per hectare. The Viognier grapes start to harvest when ripe; it is a unique varietal characteristic. Samples and tastings are carried out before harvesting to determine the balance and flavor complexity. The grapes are picked, destemmed and pressed by hand. 70% of the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruity properties. The other 30% ferment in Romanian oak barrels for 90 days to obtain a creamier complexity. The wine is then assembled, embellished with egg white and stabilized before bottling.
