See previous notes. My last bottle of what was an excellent Viognier. This was mid Lemon in colour. Notes of pear and honeysuckle. Palate whilst being delicate has great texture with real persistence. Isn’t as unctuous or with the concentration of a Condrieu but wonderful nonetheless. Drinking at its peak.

First of 2 Viogniers served blind. Classic with more acid than the 2nd. Apricot descriptors. Refreshing and excellent. Clonakilla better known for its excellent Shiraz Viognier.

Very pale Lemon in colour. Small oak influence on the nose with some nutty aromas. On the palate great texture, mouthfeel and balance- some pear and a touch of honey. Excellent new world Viognier without the concentration of a top shelf Condrieu.

Very pale - just a tinge of lemon. Floral aromatic notes with some honeysuckle. Clean fresh fruit flavours with a light oak touch and unctuous full mouthfeel. Great intensity and acid - a refreshing finish.

Pretty delicious. Well balanced oiliness, lusciousness and acid zip. Not cloying but filling and refreshing. Drink now or hold for up to two more years.
