Porcupine Ridge Viognier/Grenache Blanc 2009

The popularity of this blend is growing fast since the first bottling. By using fruit from dryland vineyards from Malmesbury and Citrusdal we are blessed with consentrated profiles of flavour and structure. Extended ripening of the Viognier ensure the development of spicy floral aromas while the earlier harvesting of Grenache Blanc deliver natural acidity and minerality to the blend.

Spicy with intense floral aromas and ripe peach fruit. Soft yet intense on the palate with creamy oak nuances and a lingering aftertaste.
