Lismore Age Of Grace Viognier 2023

Grapes from Bot River, Elgin and Villiersdorp, production of this wine is an impressive 25,000 bottles. Peach, orange, a hint of floral perfume, fynbos, a brush of vanilla, and some flinty reduction on the nose. The palate, meanwhile, is pure and vibrant with a dry finish – it has a tension about it and that’s not something you say about wines from this variety. Alc: 13%. Score – 94.
