2016 Tellurian Viognier

Fermented and matured in older French oak barriques on lees. Brilliant pale straw colour with a greenish tinge to the outskirts and a watery hue. Aromas of fresh apricots and tangerine intermix with citrus, honeysuckle and spice. Light to medium weight with a fresh, lively yet textured feel the palate features flavours of apricots, tangy citrus and honeysuckle over subtle orange blossom infusions and spice. Finishes with vibrant acidity and an aftertaste of fresh apricots, citrus, honeysuckle, infusions of orange blossom and spice.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…..
A viognier that shows great promise, with a brushing of vanillin oak and leesy detail laying the foundation for the exuberant regalia of stone fruit aromas, a lick of honeysuckle and a pucker of talc and mineral. The oak is beautifully handled, reining viognier's tendency toward hedonism into a nourishing, compact whole. Viognier as it should be. Drink by 2022.
