About the wine
A honeyed rendition of Viognier
- This wine hits all the sweet spots! If you like dessert in a glass, this is for you—it’s packed with flavors like cedar spice, honeysuckle and candied apricot that go on and on.
- Sam says each vine is super low-yielding (and only makes 1-3 bottles!) Combine that 14 months of French oak aging, making this Viognier in a dessert style is expensive. It would not be possible without Angel support.
- This serious Halo sticky wine is a bargain from the dessert menu, so it won’t last long! Treat yourself to a rare nightcap.
Best before
A delicious wine to drink now with its apricot and marmalade flavors, but it will likely age for a decade or more and become increasingly golden, complex and honeyed.
Serving advice
I think very sweet wines are best served super chilled.
Food match
Carrillo and Ziynin Ganter, who own this Viognier vineyard, are good friends and came for dinner not long ago. My wife Bron is a great cook and put some peaches on the barbecue with scented yogurt, delicious with the Halo sticky wine!

Meet the winemaker - Sam Plunkett
- Sam is one of our Australian All-Stars. He garnered lots of attention as the award-winning winemaker at Plunkett Fowles.
- But Plunkett Fowles hit rough waters and Sam wasn't sure he'd be able to stay in the wine business...until he became Angel funded. Your support put his startup on the map.
- Now Sam is off to the races – with the same dedication to quality winemaking that won so many accolades at Plunkett Fowles – and none of the bother about sales and marketing.
