Noble Hill Viognier 2011

Name: Noble Hill Viognier 2011
Brand: Noble Hill
SKU: 30067

Like a beautiful blonde with an astrophysics PhD, our Viognier is a pleasure to behold but isn't afraid to show its substance. Fresh floral aromas reveal a complex, focused palate of peaches, pears and complimenting oak. This Viognier has bright, explosive, floral aromas of honeysuckle and orange blossom. The primary fruit expression is peach and pear, with a hint of straw. The lengthy, dry finish reveals a bit of spice, dried herbs, and fennel.

in the vineyard :

Viognier grows at the base of our vineyard, a small block producing just a few hundred litres of wine each year. This vineyard is mulched with citrus chips to return as much organic material as possible into the soil and create a healthy sub-surface ecosystem.

Because of our estate vineyard’s small size, we also source part of the grapes for this wine from the Lynedoch area in Stellenbosch. Grapes in this cool-climate area ripen slowly and produce wines in an austere style, adding balance and complexity to our estate fruit which tends to produce rich, floral notes.
