Viognier
This has an attractive peach and lemon core with nicely carved textural style.
It’s a polished, lively wine that is coiled up with bewitching acidic tension.
Well suited to the growing conditions in Heathcote, Tellurian Viognier is made in a medium to full bodied style with expressive floral and stone fruit aromatics and round, plush texture. Picked just late enough in the season to show the expressive flavour of this variety, and at the optimal time to maintain freshness and a clean finish.
Organic. Suitable for vegans.

Vineyard
Hand picked from our own Tellurian vineyard, in Tranter Rd, Toolleen, growing in Cambrian soils formed over 500 million years. Deep, rich, decomposed greenstone rock with soil depths up to 2m allow roots to reach deep, while relatively low fertility controls vigour and yield.
Winemaking Notes
Grapes hand picked to optimise flavour and acidity, then de-stemmed and pressed with no heavy pressings being used. Settled in tank overnight, the juice was transferred to a combination of French oak barriques and puncheons one of which was new oak. Wine remained on yeast lees in French oak for 7 months prior to bottling.
