Hobbs Vintners Barossa Valley
2018 Tin Lids Viognier
96++ Points - Stuart McCloskey
Lifted bouquet of nectarines and stone fruits with an underlay of toasty spice. The full flavoured palate shows great acidity and balance with a velvety oiliness and minerality. Flavours of white peaches, nectarines and apricots, full bodied, well balanced, complex wine. A superb expression of the Barossa Ranges “terroir”.
“Old vine Viognier (planted circa 1960), lovingly tended by hand… Greg and Allison deliver hallmark aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle, sun drenched apricots and a whispering of orangey spice. The palate is surprisingly elegant, beautifully balanced and a textural delight – silky smooth to be more exact. The flavour profile is expansive, but this wine will offer everything with a little more bottle age. I enjoy the focus, the minerality, the freshness and the citrus oil which coats every facet. In fact, there isn’t anything I do not enjoy. The finish is incredible – bittersweet orange marmalade after a minute or so which is a fabulous way to part. Great now and will continue to improve for at least five years. Served (not too chilled) and using Zalto Bordeaux glassware. Decant for 20-30 minutes for the best result.”
