Long and weighty, this is an incredibly satisfying Viognier

The vineyards cover extensive plains and gentle hills always providing intense exposure to sunlight
Time on skins and barrel fermentation make this a textural Viognier
Nose of apricots, greengage with a hint of toasty vanilla
Lovely with slightly richer dishes such as roast pork or chicken
Made by flying winemaker, Peter Bright

Voted the "Best White Wine In Portugal" - 2014

"The name means 'rooftop', because the vineyard is full of terracotta roof tile fragments, on the site of a Roman village. Very long periods on skins for Viognier, fermented in barrel long and natural yeast. Lots of spice and floral, peachy Viognier character, really comes through beautifully. "My take on Condrieu, which I can't afford to drink." With fabulous structure and tannin, lots of richness, lots of tang and vibrancy, with both juiciness, the barrel giving supporting vanilla touches, and a bracing long finish. Fab stuff. 93/100"
