Tasting Notes

SOLD OUT

In a 'wild' ferment we encourage the juice to ferment with indigenous yeasts present on the grape skins from the vineyard around the winery.  No commercial yeast is added. While the outcomes of such ferments can't be predicted, they are often spectacular. We have produced a Wild Ferment Chardonnay every vintage since 2005 and have been so pleased with the outcomes that in 2010 we have expanded the Wild Ferment range to include our Viognier and Fiano.

Our 2010 Queensland Wild Ferment Viognier was 100% wild fermented in new and used French oak barriques. The nose displays and intriguing blend of pear, lemon and honey aromas.  Melon and pear flavours combine to deliver wonderful palate richness and a lingering mouthfeel.

Vineyard Location and Condition

The fruit for our 2010 Queensland Viognier was grown by Steve Cerutti at Boyland, just a stone's throw west of Tamborine Mountain.
