Viognier has the narrowest of windows to harvest the fruit at optimal flavour, sugar and acidity. The best flavours come right at the end of ripening and can dissipate quickly if left too long, luckily our Viognier is located right next to the winery. Fermented with selected yeasts that maximise aromatic potential in Viognier, then matured on light yeast lees for a fuller smoother mouthfeel. An enticing bouquet of floral aromas, freesia and marzipan, along with peach and apricot. A dry finish, complemented by soft acidity and long lasting flavours. It's delightful as an aperitif and an enjoyable compliment to your seafood, white meats and vegetable dishes.

The Aviatrix Semillon
The Aviatrix is a textual and moreish experience made with a gentle hand and a non-interventionist approach. The aromas hint of star jasmine and zesty meyer lemon, the palate has lemon curd and white fleshed nectarine. There is a creamy complexity from time on lees in barrel, coupled with brulee and toffee notes typical of Semillon. Wild fermentation gives this subtle and long lived dry white wine a flint gunsmoke edge. Cellaring will reward the Semillon fan.
