RHÔNE, FRANCE
VIOGNIER 100%

As good an example of Viognier as you'll find outside of Condrieu. Complex and superbly balanced.
Hugely appealing citrus, ripe apricot (verging on apricot yoghurt!) and vanilla on the nose. Sublime on the palate and more restrained than the nose, with a delicious balance between generosity of fruit, elegant minerality and a touch of fresh ginger spice. Moderate acidity and a subtle bitterness to the finish drives it along. Fabulous!
Food match
A delicious apéritif or serve with seafood, grilled sole, cheese soufflé, or steamed Asian dishes with ginger and corriader flavours.
