VINOUS 91 POINTS - "This vibrant and engaging 2022 Viognier Samuel's Collection Eden Valley is elegant with attractive layers of honeysuckle and apricot topped by a subtle spicy lift. A fresh and vibrant style with a gently creamy texture build on the finish." - Angus Hughson
JAMES SUCKLING 91 POINTS - "This is perfumed with lots of floral notes as well as ripe apricots and yellow cherries. The palate is dense with a full body and oily texture. Weighty and creamy. "
In our opinion, this Viognier in particular has become the standard by which we judge all others at the surrounding price points. This wine is fermented entirely with indigenous yeasts which maintains complexity and layers of flavor. This is a delicate and aromatic Viognier wine. The color is pale gold with green highlights, with a nose of pure aromas displaying apricot nectar, lifted honeysuckle and orange oil perfume. The particularly white peach and apricot flavours, finishing with an aromatic citrus freshness. This wine will continue to grow and develop in the bottle, firstly showing enhanced apricots and spice, then after a couple of years, honey flavors and toast.
