Heartland Viognier Pinot Gris 2006

Heartland, South Australia, Viognier, Pinot Gris 2006 The nose features fresh peaches, candied tropical fruits and spicy flowers. On the palate this wine is quite broad, lowish in acidity, conveying a richness yet emphasizing the vineyard over the winemaking. The body is medium weight and there is a hint of warmth on the palate. All in all, it’s showing quite nicely almost 4 years since the grapes were harvested.

The grapes behind this blend are 69% Viognier and 31% Pinot Gris, marrying grapes known more commonly for their Rhone and Alsatian incarnations. Most of the fruit was sourced from Langhorne Creek while 17% came from the Limestone Coast.
