A distinctive & multifarious bouquet of lemon/line preserves sweet herbs, cut grass, gooseberry, mineral/flint talc & toasted oak spice. The palate is structured by the driving purity of Semillon's citrus fruits then enriched with Sauvignon Blanc's nectarine, gooseberry, passionfruit & sweet herbs. From fermentation & lengthy maturation in oak, the palate acquires an oak veneer, a mineral edge & lemon butter richness. In time, the tightly woven acidity will soften & the oak will meld with the ample ripe fruit to yield a fine, long living layered & meticulously structured wine.

Limited stock. Appearance: Vibrant green gold. Aroma: Concentrated, exotic & ethereal aromas of honeysuckle, orange blossom, guava & pear drop essence with whispers of star anise. Palate: An assortment of fruits
- mango, kiwi & guava, tangerine & orange, apricot & peach enriched with a nut-oil slipperiness that provides a soft, luscious mouth-feel. Textures of nut kernel, minerals & a clean dry acid finish, subtly offset the power & intensity of the ripe fruit palate. Food ideas: Sushi, Sashimi, Vietnamese & Thai foods or Gruyere & soft cheeses. Drink: Now & over the next 4 years. The newest Stella Bella 'premium exotic', is a variety steeped in historical mystery & obscurity. Whilst it is agreed that Viognier is an ancient variety, the origin remains unknown & its arrival in France is probably due to the Romans. The name has two anecdotal origins, one being the Roman outpost city of Vienne in the Rhone & the other a derivation of the word Gehennae, which means the 'road to Hell'
- perhaps a portent of challenging viticultural habits. Nonetheless the wine produced is truly extraordinary & full of tantalizing aromas & flavours.
