Petaluma Viognier 2006

Voluptuous, candied and even slightly spiky, this concentrated and marginally sweet viognier backs its ripe flavours of melon and mango with a dusting of cloves and cinnamon. Avoiding excessive oiliness, it also presently lacks great complexity, but should develop more varietal character with time in the bottle.

Winery

Petaluma
A benchmark Australian wine company, Petaluma was initially established by Brian Croser and is today a newly acquired but key component of Accolade Wines. It recently moved into its new winery and cellar door at Woodside in the Adelaide Hills, which should provide the winemaking team with significantly more capacity to process fruit in these days of earlier and more condensed vintages. The current Petaluma white wines perform at their anticipated levels of quality, but the reds appear to have been affected by a lack of brightness and vivaciousness that could be attributed to unwanted levels of hang time before processing.
