The full and exotic 2019 Viognier is opulently aromatic, brimming with peaches, ginger, roses and cream. Mouthfilling and intriguingly textured, not only due to the variety but also the handling, which includes some skin contact, wild fermentation in puncheons and extended time on fine lees (a whopping 18 months). However, it's not blowsy and hits just 13% alcohol, reminding us that we are in the cool Marlborough region. This remains one of my favorite cuvées from Hans Herzog year after year, and this is perhaps the best I've had yet, with weight, intensity and length. Drink in its first five years to make the most of its aromatics.
