The Foundry Viognier 2021

R250.00

Stellenbosch WO.
Winemaker Chris Williams focuses on Rhone valley white varietals, this Viognier is pale in colour, clear and bright with a pronounced greenish hue. The nose has restrained aromatics of citrus, jasmine and sea breeze, but remains elegant and perfumed. These flavours follow through onto the palate which is crisp, linear and refined with crushed fresh fruit, succulent juiciness and finishes with a mineral steeliness.

Christian Eedes, Winemag:
“Honeysuckle, yellow apple, peach and some leesy complexity on the nose while the palate is nicely contained and rather less blowsy than wines from this variety can often be – good fruit concentration and punchy acidity, the finish savoury. Harmonious and layered.

Chris Williams is the winemaker behind The Foundry. This label was established in 2001, Chris made the first vintage at Joostenberg Wines in an old farm workshop that became affectionately known as “The Foundry”. He made a single Stellenbosch Syrah in that first year and has slowly added wines over the next decade and a half to end up with five wines in the range. Up until 2019 the wines were made at Meerlust where Chris was also the head winemaker. As of vintage 2020 he has moved fulltime into The Foundry, based on the Voor-Paardeberg next to the Grenache Blanc vineyard.
