2011 Botrytis Viognier, Paringa Estate
Mornington Peninsula, Australia
Glowing amber in the glass, this rare aged sweet Viognier opens with aromas of apricot, orange blossom, and honeycomb, lifted by hints of ginger and vanilla. The palate is luscious yet refined with layers of marmalade, dried peach, and caramelised citrus balanced by a bright, cleansing acidity. Silky and complex, it glides to a long, delicate finish that leaves a whisper of spice and sweetness.
For when: dessert deserves more than coffee.
Pairs with: blue cheese, apricot tart, or simply a quiet moment to yourself.
If this wine were a feeling, it’d be the warmth of golden light through an old window.
From Paringa Estate’s cool slopes on the Mornington Peninsula, this tiny-production Botrytis Viognier captures the elegance of noble rot with Viognier’s natural perfume and texture. Fermented and aged in French oak, it’s a wine of balance and poise, sweet, but never cloying.
