We are thrilled to unveil the inaugural release of Stonebridge Viognier, a testament to years of dedication and care. Planted seven years ago, our Viognier vines have been carefully nurtured to adapt to the rich, heavy clay soil of our vineyards. After two experimental harvests, the third harvest from the exceptional 2023 vintage has been bottled, and it is a true reflection of our vineyard’s potential.
This Viognier embodies the classic elegance of old-world cool-climate winemaking. Fermented in equal parts French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, the wine was then aged in 500-litre French oak puncheons to develop its complexity and depth. The result is a vibrant and refined wine that highlights the delicate aromatics and fresh minerality characteristic of our terroir.
We are delighted to offer this extraordinary vintage as an exclusive pre-release to our Signature Club members in November 2024, ahead of its formal release in May 2025. We invite you to savor this milestone in Stonebridge’s journey—a wine born of patience, precision, and passion.
Cheers to new beginnings and exceptional wines!
