The grapes are grown at Boyland, west of Tamborine Mountain. Steve Cerutti is the winemaker who uses
'indigenous yeast, some juice solids and barrell fermentation'. The label says it can be cellared (though nothing hangs around long enough in our house). It's golden in colour, like a traditional chardonnay, smelling of citrus, honeydew and honey. It's sweetish on the font palate, with some honey residue on the back and then a kind of figgish bitterness. Viognier is good for someone who is adventurouswho doesn't want a traditional chardonnay but still wants that same bodyand thickish fullness. Viognier will impress such a drinker. It's zippy, still full of flavour but less weighty and less full-bodied than chardonnay. I think young women should get into it. This is one of Withces Falls best whites, if not the best.
