A rich, opulent Viognier with 94 points from James Suckling, showcasing a captivating bouquet of quince, apricot, honeysuckle, and sweet spice.

    • Description

      The Hans Herzog Viognier 2020 is an exceptional expression of this varietal, deep in color and bursting with rich aromas of quince, apricot, and honeysuckle. A heady bouquet of sweet spice and exotic fruit is beautifully tempered by a lovely earthy undertone and fresh acidity. The wine is full-bodied with a sumptuous mouthfeel, enhanced by regular stirring of its fine lees during the first six months of aging, which imparts a remarkable silkiness and depth. This Viognier is fermented using wild yeast in 500-liter French oak puncheons, allowing it to express its terroir with a true sense of place, and aged for 18 months to develop into a rich, honeyed nectar.

      With no residual sugar, the wine offers a tantalizing balance of opulent fruit flavors and bright, mouthwatering freshness. It has an intensity and richness that is beautifully supported by a touch of oak, adding to its complexity. The finish is long and refined, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. This Viognier is a showstopper, combining fullness and structure with a lovely freshness that makes it incredibly enjoyable both now and as it matures.
