Tasting Notes

Colour
Plenarius 2025 is brilliant scotch-bronze in colour.
Aroma
It immediately flies out of the glass with beautifully perfumed Viognier aromatics. Honeysuckle leads, followed by ripe apricot and mango, layered with musk and lemon verbena. Utterly appealing and expressive.
Palate
The palate is bright, confident, and full of energy, bursting with dynamism. Luscious ripe stone fruits mesh seamlessly with orange peel and vanilla, while gentle skin phenolics, reminiscent of apricot kernel, provide balance and shape to the generous fruit profile. Subtle nutty notes emerge, alongside a hint of ginger, as the wine continues to evolve in the glass, maintaining intrigue throughout. Medium-bodied with an oily undertone, the wine finishes long, clean, and dry, bringing precision to its generous mid-palate. The intricate interplay of aroma, flavour, and texture creates a provocative and captivating drinking experience, a thought-provoking, alluring expression of skin-contact Viognier.
Cellaring
We recommended to drink within 12-18 months from release.

Vintage 2025

The 2025 vintage has delivered wines of exceptional quality, destined to rank among the finest. This warm and dry year was punctuated by significant growing season frosts, with rainfall from Winter through Summer reaching only two-thirds of the average. Two major frosts in September set the tone for a challenging yet rewarding season. Spring temperatures were 1 degree above average, while Summer was 2 degrees higher. The combination of warmth, dry conditions, and lower yields resulted in the earliest start and finish to vintage since our winemaking journey began in 2002. These steady ripening conditions ensured the vines remained healthy, producing grapes of outstanding quality and the resultant 2025 wines stand firmly in the upper echelon
