2021 Delmas Viognier
Tasting Notes
A highly focused, complex, and hedonistic wine. This wine offers high levels of intensity and complexity on both the bouquet and palate. Riveting aromatics of honeysuckle, nectarine, apricot, tangerine peel, saffron, and lemongrass. The juicy, vibrant palate has notes of nectarine, Meyer lemon, apricot, fig, cardamom and saffron. The signature perfumed minerality of SJR vineyard reverberates on the exquisitely long finish along with tones of apricot pit, cardamom, and lemongrass.
About Delmas
All of Delmas wines originate from their 13-acre SJR Vineyard, which is uniquely situated at the southwest corner of The Rocks District; where the ancient wild river deposited finer soils amongst the cobbles/gravels. Brooke Delmas Robertson, who has taken the helm in guiding the winegrowing efforts for the family, ensures the continuation of their distinguished wines. These wines show a singularly distinctive expression within The Rocks District.
