2009 Coopers Creek Chalk Ridge Hawkes Bay Viognier

Elsewhere this is $21. Try this beautiful wine instead of a sauvignon or pinot gris- you wont regret it and its not often we can offer a good quality viognier at this remarkable price. This indigenous grape variety from the Northern Rhone Valley in France produces rich and exotic wine. Viognier is a low acid variety so the palate is broad, rich and weighty with aromas of apricots and flowers. The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Chalk Hill block just to the south of Havelock North. It is so named due to the amount of fractured limestone in the soil profile. It is a very steep vineyard and is very difficult to work (too steep for even a tractor). The vineyard faces due north and is very warm during the day.
