Lovely bright lemony freshness with hints of dried herbs and white florals — deliberately not the old-fashioned “apricots on steroids” style. On the palate: delicate stone fruit and ginger over a chalky texture, lifted by wonderfully zippy, bouncy acidity that keeps it taut and food-friendly where Viognier often goes flabby. A short ageing on yeast lees adds gentle texture; the finish is dry, fresh and quietly floral. Enjoy over the next 3-4 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: 100% Viognier from two vineyards in the high, cool-climate Eden Valley. Hand-picked whole bunches pressed straight to a mix of mostly used and some new barrels; wild (un-inoculated) fermentation, no malolactic, bottled after a short time on lees. The 2025 vintage in the Eden Valley was excellent for aromatic whites — cool and even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent with pork loin, roast chicken, rich fish like salmon, mildly spiced Asian dishes, and semi-soft cow’s milk cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery Story\u003c\/b\u003e: Tim Smith spent years making the great Shiraz of the Barossa at Torbreck before launching his own label in 2006 — and his Viognier carries the same craftsman’s touch. Small parcels, minimal intervention, old-school skill: an Eden Valley white from one of the region’s most respected hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Free Run","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50619623473409,"sku":"TIMSMITHEDENVALLEY","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/2025-Viognier-1.jpg?v=1791452225","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/tim-smith-eden-valley-viognier-2025","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
