Leopard Frog Singularity Viognier vintage blend

Leopard Frog Vineyards

Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

The only Viognier in the world comprised entirely of free run juice (vin de goutte) from grapes hand-selected from five different harvests (2005 to 2009) of a single bloc of vines and matured using only wild yeast fermentation, Singularity creates the quintessential expression of this cult cultivar in South Africa.

A once-off limited release of 4 barrels only. Each wine bottle individually numbered.

Appearance

Deep golden hues echo the promising palate of a rising harvest sun. Clear, brilliant lustre and luminosity with long legs indicative of high extract foreshadow an intense, extroverted personality that invites immediate interest.

Nose

Alluring aromas of orange blossoms and honeysuckle in a large yet nuanced nose that is so forward that it not only comes across a crowded room to you, but it puts its hand on your leg and asks you up to dance.

Taste

A complex and curvaceous blonde that slowly undresses layers of sun-dried fruit (pineapples and peaches) to reveal a well-toned mineral backbone that frames the fruit and seduces your senses before delivering whispers of butterscotch and honey in a refreshing farewell that lingers like the post-coital kiss of a satisfied lover. A goddess of a wine.
