Pour this when you want a white with some shoulders. Excelsior Viognier is dry but loaded with ripe apricot and peach, the kind of glass that smells like a fruit bowl and drinks rich and creamy. It's the white for people who think they only like reds. Grilled chicken on the balcony, a Friday that earned a proper bottle, and we'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
First sniff is all stone fruit and flowers: ripe apricot, soft peach, a little orange blossom and a twist of citrus peel. Then the palate goes full and creamy, more green apple and lemon than sugar, finishing dry and clean. There's just a whisper of oak holding it together, nothing heavy. It feels bigger and rounder than your average white, which is exactly the point.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Excelsior, a De Wet family estate in the Robertson Valley out in South Africa's Breede River country. The land has chalky, lime-rich soils that were once prized for raising racehorses, and the family has been farming wine here for five generations. The cool trick with their Viognier: they don't pick by the calendar, they wait until the grapes literally start tasting like apricots, then hand-harvest. That's why the fruit hits so loud in the glass.
