The fruit for this wine is from the exceptional season. A small parcel comprising one new French oak hogshead barrel, was selected to maximise the heady bouquet and flavour of the viognier variety. The wine is named in honour of Valerie Friend, a co-founder of Narkoojee and it joins the other three beautiful varietal wines of this series.
