La Petite Ferme | Viognier | 2021
This Viognier eats up the heat from spicier dishes and refreshes the palate. With only around 2000 bottles produced, the grapes were pressed and fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks, then transferred to barrel for 9 months.
Nose & palate
Hints of citrus, pineapple, dried apricots, and other stone fruit. Fresh acidity carries wine into dry savoury finish.
Pairing
Enjoy this Viognier with a prawn curry or chicken biryani.
About La Petite Ferme
Having worked at wineries in France, California and Australia, winemaker Wikus Pretorius brought considerable expertise to the cellar when he joined La Petite Ferme in 2015.
The cellar harvests fruit from the 17 hectares of vineyard surrounding the boutique hotel, but Pretorius also works with selected vineyard sites across the Cape winelands, allowing unique terroirs to add complexity to his range of remarkable single varietal wines.
“Franschhoek is a lovely valley, with wonderful vineyards, but there are so many great vineyard sites out there that we felt it best to tap into the diversity of the Cape winelands,” explains Pretorius. “But regardless of where the grapes are from, finesse and elegance are the hallmarks of all my wines.”
