Haan Viognier

Intense aroma of stone fruits and florals dominate this wine, but is balanced by a spicy oak aroma to produce an incredibly complex wine. Lots of minerally acidity which gives it texture and great persistence. The stone fruit flavours of pears and apricots linger throughout the palate with a toasty oak influence apparent.

Product Details

The Haan philosophy of producing the finest examples of super premium Barossa table wines is clearly expressed in excellence and limited production of the seven wines made from the estate-grown grapes. Where possible, the opportunity to develop new styles from lesser known varieties such as Viognier is approached with great dedication and care. In this way the consumer is assured of great wines of excellence, quality and interest.

The Viognier vines are 15 years old, grown on sandy loam with a 2 metre clay base. The vines are on a single wire trellis with two foliage wires, but are allowed to over-hang to protect most of the fruit from sunlight exposure. The philosophy of 'great wine is made from great grapes' is the truth behind this wine. Never before, as far as we can tell, has such a system of selecting only the inner canopy grapes for the winemaking been carried out. This attention to detail ensures maximum expression of varietal character.

Grape Variety : Viognier

Viognier retains its green colour when it is not exposed to sunlight. This wine is made only from berries which exhibit this character. Hand selected and whole bunch pressed, the juice shows crispness and fresh floral aromas.

The intense aroma of stone fruits and florals dominate this wine, but is balanced by a spicy oak aroma to produce an incredibly complex wine. This complexity is carried over onto the palate where it is enhanced by minerally acidity which gives it texture and great persistence. The stone fruit flavours of pears and apricots linger throughout the palate with a toasty oak influence apparent. This wine shows a pristine varietal character not seen in other Viogner wines.
