An outstanding example of Viognier. Brilliant gold colour with pale straw hue. The nose delivers classic Viognier lift, with aromatic notes of tropical fruit, dried apricot and exotic spices. Mouthfilling palate with again strong varietal flavours and creamy texture. Flavours of spice, tropical fruit, musk and apricot emerge followed by a touch of quince and spice. Clean acid finish. Exotic musk, apricot and quince aftertaste.

Other Reviews...
Gentle peach and apricot aromas, then an ultra-complex and supple mouthfeel, with no impact whatsoever from the alcohol. A brilliant excercise in restrained power.
