Description
The La Petite Ferme Viognier 2025 is a fresh yet textured expression of this aromatic variety, sourced from three carefully selected vineyards across Franschhoek. Known for its balance of richness and restraint, this wine captures both the perfume and structure that define a well-crafted Viognier.
The nose opens with inviting aromas of pineapple, citrus, and dried stone fruit, offering both brightness and depth. On the palate, the wine is fresh and finely textured, with layers of ripe orchard fruit and subtle savory notes. A vibrant acidity carries through to a dry, lingering finish, giving the wine lift and precision while maintaining its signature Viognier character.
This is a versatile and food-friendly white, pairing beautifully with spicy dishes, fragrant curries, and lightly spiced Asian cuisine.

Grapes from three Franschhoek vineyard sites were harvested separately to preserve site expression and complexity. After gentle pressing, fermentation took place in 100% stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and aromatic clarity.
The wine was then transferred to older 228L barrels for approximately 9 months, adding subtle texture and integration without imparting overt oak character. The final blend reflects a balance of fruit purity, structure, and finesse.
