Maader 99
Swartland, South Africa
An award-winning, tropical and atypical taste of a known favorite
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Maader 99
Viognier
This just in! Our Maader 99 Viognier brought home the "Best of South Africa AVA" designation, a Gold Medal and 91 points from the 2022 Harvest Terroir Challenge!
Our Maader 99 Viognier is a notably leaner style of this popular grape with zesty citrus aromas and a bright, focused palate featuring tropical fruit flavors.

As members of Fairtrade International™, our local winemaking partners who tend to these vines share our respect and understanding of the importance of nature and community. Thi ...

WINE REGION:
Swartland
Swartland is one of South Africa's largest wine regions, famed for its mouthwatering Chenin Blancs, fragrant Syrahs and punchy Pinotage. Forty miles north of Cape Town, Swartland covers a large area from the Atlantic Ocean to the sun-kissed plains of Piketberg. The region has a hot, dry climate away from the cooling ocean, with ancient shale and granite-based soils. This forces the vines to work hard, producing small but concentrated grapes.

TASTING NOTES:
Banana
Pineapple
Lime
Our Viognier is elegant and approachable, with floral aromas joined by scents of fresh lime on the nose. This wine is medium-bodied but feels light for its varietal with modest acidity and waxy textures on the palate, where exotic green banana flavors complement ripe pineapple for a friendly finish.
