WILLUNGA 100 VIOGNIER

PRODUCER
Willunga 100 is in McLaren Vale, south of Adelaide. The grapes come from a range of selected vineyards in McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills, including some over 50 years old. Winemaker Stephen Pannell uses modern equipment alongside traditional winemaking techniques, including open-top fermenters, to ferment the small parcels of fruit arriving at the winery. Willunga 100 aims to produce unique and distinctive wines which capture the essence of the region.
VINEYARDS
McLaren Vale has a warm Mediterranean climate with a strong cooling influence from the Gulf of St Vincent. Fruit for this wine was sourced from both the McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills regions to add complexity and balance to the wine. The McLaren Vale fruit (75%) imparts the richer more aromatic flavours that has become
synonymous with great Australian Viognier, whilst the cooler climate Adelaide Hills portion (25%) adds wonderful acid structure and more delicate citrus, mineral notes.
VINIFICATION
The fruit is hand picked to ensure optimal quality when being delivered to the winery. It is crushed and pressed with only the free run and light pressings being kept. The wine does not see any oak and is bottled early to ensure the intensity of the aromatics are retained.
TASTING NOTE
Intense floral, spice and glazed apricot aromas on the nose. The palate is nicely balanced with good texture, creaminess and refreshing citrussy acidity. Lovely intense stone fruit continues on the palate with great length and character.
