Kleine Oranjerie Viognier is a beautifully finessed South African white with a classic jasmine and white peach nose, full-flavored tropical fruit on the palate, and a refreshing zingy acidity that finishes with a touch of ginger spice. A welcome addition to any wine collection.
A classic varietal nose of jasmine, white peach and fruit blossom, with a hint of white pepper. The palate is ripe and full-flavoured with exotic, tropical fruit flavours balanced offset by bright, zingy acidity leading to a gingery, textural finish.
This Viognier is sourced from Paarl vineyards with sandy loam soils, where the timing of harvest is critical to achieving the perfect balance of aromatics, palate generosity, and freshness. The vineyards benefit from optimal conditions that allow for the expression of the varietal's distinctive characteristics.
Harvesting is carefully timed to capture the best varietal balance. The winemaking process focuses on preserving the bright aromatics and fresh acidity of the Viognier while enhancing the full-flavored, exotic fruit profile through controlled fermentation and careful handling in the cellar.
Thai green curry, Cape Malay curries, goats cheese and roast veg.
