Fermented and matured in oak for close to a year, the wine gains texture and complexity while preserving its natural vibrancy and purity of fruit. In the glass, it shows a luminous green-gold hue that hints at both freshness and gentle richness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bouquet is immediately captivating, revealing ripe apricot, yellow apple and quince layered with acacia honey and delicate floral tones reminiscent of spring blossoms and lavender. Subtle notes of baking spice and warm pastry reflect the careful oak handling, integrated seamlessly without overshadowing the fruit. On the palate, the wine is gently opulent yet controlled, offering a medium-bodied structure supported by lively acidity that keeps the profile focused and energetic. Stone fruit and citrus glide across a finely textured framework, while a faint phenolic grip adds dimension and sophistication. There is a compelling balance between aromatic generosity and structural restraint, ensuring the wine never feels heavy despite its depth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe finish is long, composed and quietly powerful, suggesting both immediate drinkability and the ability to evolve gracefully over the next several years. This Viognier is a confident and polished example of the style, pairing beautifully with aromatic cuisine, roast poultry or richly sauced seafood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1540\" data-end=\"1750\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1540\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1557\" data-end=\"1560\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"1571\"\u003e– Fragrant and layered\u003cbr\u003eAromas of fresh apricot, yellow apple and quince mingle with acacia honey, lavender and spring flowers, supported by hints of baking spice and delicate oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1955\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1762\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003e– Textural and balanced\u003cbr\u003eA medium-bodied palate with generous mouthfeel, vibrant acidity and flavours of stone fruit and citrus, complemented by subtle oak nuance and a refined phenolic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1957\" data-end=\"2104\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1957\" data-end=\"1967\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"1970\"\u003e– Focused and persistent\u003cbr\u003eLong and harmonious, the finish carries lingering orchard fruit, gentle spice and a polished structural line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2452\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2129\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2129\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Barrel fermented and matured for 10 months in large-format oak… a bright green gold with a complex bouquet of perfectly ripened apricots, yellow apple, quince and acacia honey.
