Blue Pyrenees
Straw green colour with floral aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine and fruit notes of pear, lime and guava.
FlavourFresh pear, green fig and apricot fruit flavours are combined with a hint of spice. The creamy mid palate with unusually rich fleshy texture for a dry Australian white wine, is complemented with natural minerality.
In a regional co-operation, the Blue Pyrenees’ winemakers, inspired by wines of the Rhone Valley, have combined Viognier from Blue Pyrenees Estate with Roussanne & Marsanne, from the Glenlofty Vineyard in the Landsborough Valley. The Marsanne, Roussanne and the Viognier are all processed separately but include the light pressings where much of the flavour in these varieties hide. The main components were battonaged for 2 months while the Viognier was fermented and aged in French oak, before final blending and bottling.
