Beau Constantia Cecily Viognier 2023
R359.00
(R2,155.00 for 6 x 750ml)
Our Viognier is grown on a combination of terrains on our Estate and the 2022 fruit came in over 3 small pickings between 25 February and 8 March as the different viticultural pockets managed to perfectly ripen their fruit. Achieving balance in Viognier is a tough task, but our cool climate allows for a lengthened ripening period, preserving the fruit’s acidity whilst developing those succulent, mouth-coating phenolics and gob smacking concentration in fruit.
Bunches were picked just after sunrise, cooled overnight and whole bunch pressed the following morning. Seeds were brown and crunchy, skins slightly sun kissed and their contents showing great acidity and concentration in fruit. Sulphur and dry ice were both omitted at processing in an attempt to hyper oxidize the juice. It allows for us to drop out those bitter phenols that are responsible for the more astringent versions of this varietal expression
