Wine Description

Picked from a 1.5 acre patch of our own Viognier planted in 1988. All of our dessert wines are made the same way. We do not use Botrytis infected fruit or fortification in any of our dessert wines. After hand picking the grapes are placed into trays and semi dried. This drying process highlights and intensifies natural flavours and aromas. Giving a very long clean and crisp finish combined with wonderful fruit.

Wine Tasting Notes

This wine is a deep golden colour. The nose is honey, jasmine, burnt marmalade and limes. The palate is silky and luscious bursting with ripe peaches, stewed apricots and is long and lingering. A stunning wine.

Deep gold, less luscious than the Semillon, but does have apricot and honey varietal nuancesand arguably better balance. 9.4% alcohol. drink now to 2012.

Hobbs Viognier 2006

Rated 90 points

 

Ripe and thick, dense in texture, but relatively light in flavor, delivering pretty apricot and pear fruit in modest proportions. Delicious and nicely balanced with enough acidity. Drink now.
