Riebeek Cellars - Viognier 2024 (750ml) Gruner Veltliner

Riebeek Cellars - Viognier 2024 (750ml) Gruner VeltlinerThis unoaked style of Viognier offers an accessible wine with enough body but without wood flavors. The color is a brilliant green gold and the style is dry but fruity. The perfume of a floral bouquet greets the nose and follows through with lovely tropical flavors in a light but lingering palate. Free run juice was used. After settling and acid adjustment, it was inoculated with selected yeast. Fermentation temperature stayed between 13 14 degree
