Über The Foundry / Viognier:
The Foundry, eines der interessantesten jüngeren Weingüter Südafrikas, wurde im Jahre 2000 vom jetztigen Meerlust Weinmacher Chris Williams gegründet.(Interview im Wine Spectator: http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/Winemaker-Talk-Chris-Williams_3633).
The Viognier is grown on a single vineyard, South Westerly slope about 3.5 km from False Bay which enjoys cool maritime on shore breezes from the Atlantic. The soils are granite-clay loams which restrict yield and allow for retention of acidity and varietal aroma. The grapes were crushed and pressed and the free run Viognier juice settled overnight before being run into second-fill French oak white wine barrels. Half the barrels were inoculated while the other half underwent “wild”, un-inoculated fermentation. About half the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was matured on the lees for 6 months before being bottled.
Tasting Notes: Pale marigold in colour, clear and bright with a pronounced greenish hue. The nose is exotic with expressive apricot, spring blossom and creamy citrus underlined by a smoky, gunflint minerality. These flavours follow through onto the palate which is dense with crushed fresh fruit, succulent juiciness and finishes with a mineral steeliness which makes this wine ideal with food.
Alcohol : 14% TA : 5.9 g/l pH : 3.55 RS : 4 g/l
