Delectable - this was the Viognier not the Nouveau Viognier which Is offered in the database. Pale lemon - bright and clean. Aromatics of orange blossom with faint ginger notes. Medium weight with medium plus palate intensity. Again, a good winter white. A bit hot for a white at 14.5% ABV but it works when it’s cold. The wine was barrel fermented with a year on lees in French Oak which has been totally absorbed into the wine. An excellent new World Viognier. Have the last one in 2024.
