Analysis: 14.0 % ALC
Tiny yields, this fruit is hand harvested lovingly by only Yarra Yering staff, crushed for a little skin contact before basket pressing over many hours. Any juice not pressed from the skins is then frozen to be used in the Dry Red Wine No2 ferment weeks later. The Viognier juice is run off to old oak barrels without any clarification for primary fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation for 10 months maturation before bottling.
Only two barrels produced in 2015
Aroma: Signatory apricot blossom, very lifted and expressive jasmine and musk stick aromas.
Palate: Apricot flavours and a silky texture deliver oodles of weight and flavour. Tannins, rarely seen in white wines, add flavour and texture while carrying the flavour to a long lingering finish.
