2009 Granite Ridge Viognier
Elegant Viognier from Stellenbosch
With its blending of Old and New World that creates a unique style of winemaking, the vintners at Granite Ridge will redefine your previous conception of Viognier for the better. Making a wine with New World techniques that adheres to some of the austere traditions of the Old World seems contradictory but the results speak volumes. The Granite Ridge Viognier has a delightful and fruity nose, which hints of apricot, white petals and peaches. The fruit is balanced by a high amount of minerality which provides the wine with its noteworthy elegance. All of these characteristics help to define a wine which is surprisingly long on the palate with a delicious amount of fruit weight, freshness and aromatic diversity. A wine so elegant might be best paired with some simple and elegant as well, perhaps a basic but sophisticated seafood salad.
