Technical
vintage
2022 was a truly exceptional vintage in Margaret River. The season started beautifully with a wet spring and late flowering, leading to healthy vine growth. This was followed by a very warm and dry growing season, which kept disease pressure low. Yield was low which has produced concentrated flavours and fantastic acidity.
winemaking
Individual parcels of fruit were hand-picked in the cool of the night and were pressed directly to the tank. Winemaker Emma Gillespie describes looking for “versatility with this wine, allowing it to be enjoyed whatever the occasion, achieved with combining fruit from different regions, as well as how the wine is made in the winery.” She aimed to enhance the beautiful Viognier characteristics with wine being left on lees for three months to create a deliciously crunchy texture.

Reviews
Ray Jordan WA Wine Review 2024
No mistaking this is viognier. It was sourced from Margaret River in this warmer year. Loaded with apricot and orange marmalade characters initially on the nose and then carried through into the palate. A little lift of warm ginger and subtle lemon pith contribute. It is a less opulent style which I like.
