Tasting notes
Devastatingly gorgeous in the glass, the 2020 The Age of Grace Viognier exudes finesse, refinement and precision with a beautifully floral and aromatically lifted nose, compounded by oak essences, tropical and stone fruit aromas and a cereal grain element. Full-bodied, luscious and compact, the Viognier unfolds in the mouth with layers of complexity as it struts across the mid-palate with meticulous purity. It offers flavors of apricots, white peach, popcorn kernel, caramel apple, pineapple and cream of wheat along with a balanced structure and a kiss of phenolic bitterness. The wine explodes on the finish, showcasing ripeness of fruit and varietal purity. Another stellar Lismore bottling for the books. Samantha O’Keefe has done it again.

The 2020 Viognier The Age of Grace has a subtle, well-defined bouquet of detailed lemon sherbet, lemon thyme and crushed pebble scents, poised and, yes, graceful. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and linear and quite steely toward the almost Chenin-like finish. This is not a flamboyant, Rhône-like Viognier – it’s is far more tensile and racy. It should age extremely well in bottle.
