Lismore The Age of Grace Viognier 2020
An expressive Viognier, grown on rose-quartz soil. It seduces you with a beautiful perfume of honeysuckle and orange blossom, a textured palate of apricot, kiwi and pineapple. A sensual and exotic experience. Barrel fermented and aged. Drinking great already but will gain complexity with further cellaring. Food Pairing: A true delight when paired with rich fish such as salmon, tuna etc.
Vuurberg White 2023
Vuurberg White is an exceptional, elegant white wine from Vuurberg, a boutique garage-style winery in the Western Cape of South Africa . A complex, mountain-grown blend of six varieties led by Chenin Blanc and Viognier , it draws on fruit from Franschhoek , Stellenbosch, Swartland and Paarl to create a wine of real depth, sophistication and sense of place. Why You'll Love It Vuurberg, meaning Fire Mountain, is dedicated to meticulous vineyard management and small-batch winemaking, and this white is the clearest expression of that philosophy. Six varieties, wild fermentation, nine months on lees in French barriques and full malolactic fermentation combine to produce a wine of extraordinary complexity and texture. Clean, bright and endlessly layered, it is a serious white for those who want something genuinely different from the Cape. Vineyard and Production The blend is led by Chenin Blanc (47%), Viognier (20%) and Verdelho (14%), with smaller parcels of Grenache Blanc , Semillon and Roussanne completing the picture. Grapes are picked early and processed using a combination of crushing, destemming and whole-bunch pressing depending on the variety. All components undergo wild fermentation and mature for nine months on fermentation lees in French barriques and 400-litre barrels, with 25% new oak and full malolactic fermentation. The wine is coarsely filtered before bottling. Tasting Notes Clean, bright and sophisticated. Aromas and flavours of fresh stone fruit, white spice and pithy minerality are underpinned by stony acidity, culminating in a persistent, elegant and beautifully balanced finish. Perfect Pairings Ideal with fresh crayfish, sole meuniere or simply grilled and salted turbot. Also excellent alongside roasted chicken, creamy risotto or a fine cheese board. Grape Varieties Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Verdelho, Grenache Blanc , Semillon, Roussanne
