Eagles Nest Reserve Viognier 2022
Viognier
Description
Eagles Nest is a boutique estate perched on the slopes of Constantia Nek in the Constantia Valley, one of South Africa’s most historic wine regions where cool ocean breezes, elevation and decomposed granite soils lend finesse and clarity to white varieties like Viognier. The Reserve Viognier is crafted to balance expressive fruit with refreshing acidity, using gentle wood influence and thoughtful cellar practices to enhance texture without masking varietal character. Under the stewardship of winemaker Craig Barnard, this wine reflects both the unique terroir of Constantia and a modern approach to Viognier that favours purity of fruit and elegant structure.
Colour: Light golden straw with subtle green highlights, clear and bright in the glass.
Nose: Enticing aromas of fresh, ripe yellow stone fruit such as peach and apricot, lifted by citrus notes of lemon and lime, with delicate floral hints and spice developing as the wine opens in the glass.
Palate: Medium-bodied with juicy tropical fruit flavours interwoven with subtle floral complexity and a refined texture from balanced oak influence, crisp acidity keeps the palate lively and refreshing.
Finish: Clean and lingering with citrus zest, gentle spice and a touch of minerality that carries the fruit through to the close.

- Food Pairing : Eagles Nest Reserve Viognier 2022 suits dishes that echo its aromatic fruit and balanced acidity. Try it with grilled lemon chicken or roast turkey with herb jus where the citrus and floral notes complement the poultry. Creamy seafood pastas or prawn risotto highlight the wine’s texture and spice nuances while keeping the meal bright. For vegetarian options, a warm goat’s cheese salad with stone fruit and toasted almonds pairs well with both the fruit profile and the wine’s clean finish.
