Graham Beck Viognier 2005

Soft golden green colour with a fragrant nose of ripe golden apples and spicy citrus flavours. A full bodied white wine with a broad structure on the palate, but an elegant and stylish finish.

Serve slightly chilled with interesting seafood dishes like prawns, crab and mussels or with Thai and Chinese foods.

in the vineyard : 8 Year old vineyards from our Franschhoek Estate.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested by hand in the 2nd week of February in Franschhoek.

in the cellar : 50% Of the grapes were fermented in 2nd and 3rd filled French oak barrels and the other 50% in stainless steel tanks. Some 30% of the total in barrel went through malolactic fermentation to develop creamy texture. The portion in barrel was left to mature for 4 months in barrel before it was blended with the stainless steel tank portion prior to a light fining and bottling.
