Vintage 2025

"Viognier’s a hard sell, even when you make one of the country’s best, but Smith is undeterred. Ripe apricot, yellow peach, dried white flowers and dill. Properly Viognier in shape, weight and intensity, but the careful Smith hand again steers it away from hard phenolics or excess oiliness. This is what Viognier can, and should, be."
Sourced from two vineyards in the Eden Valley. This release is matured in Hungarian oak puncheons and French hogsheads, and aged on lees for six months. It shows the typical varietal aromas of nectarine, fennel seed and has a long, layered palate. It’s not the old fashioned ‘apricots on steroids’ style that has given this exotic variety a bad name!
