Penny Viognier 2018

Viognier grapes were sourced from a single mountain side block in the Breedekloof. It is one of the highest sites in the Cape with vines at 700 metres above sea level. Yields are naturally low at around six tonnes per hectare.The grapes were picked by hand into small baskets and taken to the cellar where they
were whole-bunch pressed, the juice settled and cooled. It was fermented in tank and barrel with around 20% being fermented in 500-litre French barrels, new and neutral. Only natural yeast was used. An exotic bouquet and alluring flavours of ripe peach, jasmine tea and vanilla cream. This Viognier has bags of flavour and a long, poised finish.
