Viognier 2023
$29.00
We planted the Viognier in 2010 at our warmest vineyard (at the base of Roy’s Hill), shortly after we took over at Stonecroft. The vines are now coming in to their own resulting in some great flavours and aromatics from the grapes. It’s a dry style of Viognier, using similar winemaking methods as those employed for our Chardonnays.
