Growing Conditions

2016 was one of the most varied vintages in years for the Southern regions in WA. An early budburst followed by a relatively hot dry spring and mild summer, saw early flowering and fruit set.

Winemaking

In the true essence of its namesake this wine is very experimental in nature. Taking naturally ripened Viognier as far as the vine will allow and then freezing the hand-picked grapes for 7 days at minus 15°C. This freezing process concentrates the sugar in the grapes and, more importantly, concentrates the flavour compounds in the resulting juice.
