2010 Ridgeback Sweet Viognier, South Africa (Matt)
Ridgeback is a family owned wine farm located just outside Paarl near Cape Town, South Africa, and this white, sweet, fruity dessert wine is just one of their productions we tried and enjoyed. From the winemaker, “A hedonistic spectrum of ruby grapefruit, orange blossoms, honey, glace pineapple and white peach supported by a seamless line of lime zest acidity.” The origin of the Ridgeback brand derives from the Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs (indigenous to Southern Africa) which are kept on the farm. In earlier days, these dogs were typically used for lion hunting, and embody the strength and quality of the farms wines.
