This rare grape originates from the famous Rhone Valley in France and has the reputation of making some of the most exotic wines in the world. The Trentham estate was able to source the recently released "virus free" Viognier cutting from CSIRO at Merbein, Victoria - this has resulted in strong healthy vines with beautifully balanced fruit.
Immediately after harvest the grapes we de-stemmed, crushed and the must chilled and placed in the press. The skins were pressed and the cold juice settled for 36 hours.
Once clarified, the juice was fermented with selected yeast for 3 weeks until dryness. Following fermentation the wines chilled and allowed to settle before racking, blending and bottling. The wine-making did not invlove and wood ageing or malolactic fermentation.
Trentham Viognier typifies the character of the variety and shows shows why this variety has so much promise for the future. This wine has exotic fragrant aromas of apricot and peach with a full soft palate finishing dry.
