"Viognier by Farr is a blend of two vineyards. One is the original house block planted in 1994, which has friable red soil over limestone leading to sandstone - similar soils to the Sangreal Pinot Noir and Chardonnay by Farr. The second vineyard is a younger planting of unknown clones in red ironstone soil.

The Viognier is picked earlier to retain natural acidity while maintaining varietal character, creating a more delicate and refined drink. Viognier is foot-stomped and left for two or more hours on its skins, to extract phenolics, flavour and texture. The fruit is then pressed, cooled and put straight into barrel with all solids for a natural fermentation.

The 2020 Viognier shows quintessential fresh apricots with lovely barrel spice and cream. This Viognier walks the tightrope of richness and freshness, showing the hallmark DNA of the grape while dialling in the perceived weight that Viognier can at times attain. This wine is about fruit expression with freshness and just the right amount of complexity." – By Farr
