2023 ‘Vio/Nay’ - Trail Estate

A blend of 80% Viognier from Grimsby Hillside and 20% Chardonnay from our farm. Chardonnay was hand destemmed and fermented in-field. Punched down twice daily for a quick, hot ferment. Pressed and aged in glass demijohns for 10 months. Viognier was whole-cluster pressed after one day of maceration. Put to neutral barrels on original lees for 10 months. Wild ferment, botttled unfined and unfiltered with 22ppm S02.

Aromatics of sun-kissed peaches, creamy lemon and a dash of spice. Wonderful delicate fruit profile. The palate has beautiful weight from the Viognier, which is balanced with a touch of tannins and acidity from the Chardonnay.
