Ridgeback Viognier 2020

Intense, upfront notes of citrus blossom, glazed pineapple, white peach and a hint of lavender. A creamy midpalate is well supported by subtle oak spice and lingering ruby grapefruit on the elegant finish.

WINEMAKING.
The grapes were de-stemmed without crushing, retaining a wholeberry component to press at about 70%. The juice settled overnight with pectalytic enzyme in stainless steel tanks and the clear juice was gravity fed to 20% new 300 and 400 litre French, Hungarian and Romanian oak barrels as well as a combination of second and third fill 225 litre French oak barrels. All barrels underwent natural fermentation for the first 5 degrees balling and were then inoculated with a commercial yeast strain to ensure a clean ferment to dryness. The wine was matured in barrel for 10 months and batonaged regularly to develop mouthfeel. Midpalate and wood integration was further enhanced by the use of larger barrels. A light filtration was done shortly before bottling.... Read more
