Flavour Profile
The De Wets of Excelsior boast a winemaking tradition dating back centuries. And of all our producers, their wines receive the very highest ratings from customers on our website — something that makes fifth-generation Peter De Wet and his team very proud. Their latest expression, Excelsior Heritage Reserve Viognier, is delicious proof of that legacy.
Their estate lies in Robertson, just two hours from Cape Town. It's one of South Africa's best grape-growing regions, full of beautiful undulating mountains, traditional farmsteads and vineyards. But to truly understand what makes this wine special, we need to travel back a few million years.
Back to when the region was under water. As the ancient seas receded, they left behind buried fossil beds that became ivory-coloured nuggets of limestone known as calcrete. Grapes like Viognier thrive in this nutrient rich soil, gaining a fresh minerality that gives your palate a cool sensation, regardless of the wine’s temperature. That’s followed by a zingy freshness and saline finish that makes you crave the next sip.
The result? Wines with intense flavour and depth, as you’ll taste in this Viognier. A great match for seafood, spicy dishes and white meats.
