Arabella Viognier 2009
- A multiple-award winning wine in its homeland, we're chuffed to add this to Stephen's Naked range
- Possibly one of the most amazing noses we've ever smelt on a wine
- Fragrant, dry and perfect with a spicy chicken dish!

"My greatest pleasure has been to start Arabella, my winery, from scratch in 2006. With the help of my children, Nicky & Jamie, it's turned in to a real family business where everyone is completely dedicated. My family owned a wine farm when I was growing up, and at the age of 17 my mother put me to work in the cellar. I absolutely loved. So winemaking was something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. I love the creativity involved with being a winemaker. Every step taken, from vineyard to bottling, will effect the outcome of the wine. It's vital to have a very clear idea of what the outcome should be and the steps needed in the process to achieve the desired result."

Now this is different - more melony than the usual apricot associated with Vignier. And quite strong. The really interesting thing for me is an undefinable tang that makes it taste like a sparking wine, but without the bubbles!
