Description The lotus is the symbol of purity and beauty... and the Zonte's Footstep team strive to retain these features in their highly awarded 95pt Viognier. Grown in the Fleurieu Peninsula. Their veteran vineyard of Viognier produces fruit with rich varietal flavours while retaining good acidity. Matured in neutral oak to help evolve the signature textural 'oily' character of the variety. Brilliant pale straw colour with slight green hue. Lifted aromas of varietal apricot, ginger, honeysuckle and a gentle waft of jasmine. The palate is layered and abundant with a melange of mouth-filling ripe peach and pear fruit along with classic apricot kernal. Underneath are notes of creamy nougat, blanched almond and spice complexity which provide volume and meander through to a lingering, soft and supple finish that carries a warming embrace of stem ginger.
