A very special variety. Viognier is categorised as an “aromatic”. Naturally textural and soft Viognier is often popular among both white and red wine drinkers.

Originally we planted a small amount of Viognier to be a blending component for Syrah. Over the last couple of years there has been a focus on improving the quality of the Viognier. As a result we believe this is our best to date.
