Lismore - The Age of Grace Viognier 2022

Vitt vin från Sydafrika

« The latest releases are exemplary, especially the Estate Reserve Chardonnay that is, dare I say, almost Corton-Charlemagne-like in style, a fabulous Syrah from both Elgin and Greyton fruit and a spine-tingling 2017 Estate Reserve Syrah that exudes potential. Is there nothing Samantha cannot do? »

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Starting with a classic nose of florals and citrus, the 2022 The Age of Grace Viognier displays wax melon, orange oil and citrus rind before aromas of peach blossoms and cereal grains pop out of the glass. Medium-bodied and with 13.5% alcohol, the palate is succulent with delightful, food-friendly acidity that displays a balanced notion of phenolic bitterness that's both food friendly and cerebral. 18,400 bottles were produced from whole-bunch pressed grapes that were naturally fermented in 85% barrels, 15% concrete eggs. The wine rested on the lees for 11 months.

Tasting note

This expressive viognier seduces you with the beautiful perfume of honeysuckle and orange blossom and a textured palate of apricot, kiwi and pineapple.  A sensual and exotic experience.  Barrel fermented and aged.  Enjoy it now or allow it to gain complexity with further cellaring. 

The grapes were picked and whole bunch pressed, slowly extracting the juice at a rate of 550ltrs per ton.  The juice was settled for 48 hours and was racked into older, neutral 225 litre Burgundian barrels, and a 600 litre egg shaped tank for fermentation and maturation lasting 10 months.   The “egg” component is 10% of the production.  

Balance is the key to this wine.  Viognier is an aromatic and generous varietal; it benefits from barrel maturation and lees contact with a fuller mouth feel and increased texture.  This combined with the firm acid backbone and intense fruit will allow this wine to integrate beautifully and gain further complexity over the next 3-5 years.
