Wine Review: This white gold colored value priced Viognier was quite popular at a mini tasting I recently conducted. It opens with a pleasant apple and white peach like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, balanced, with nicely integrated acidity. It displays appealing crisp apricot flavors. The finish is dry and subtle. This wine would be a fine accompaniment for grilled swordfish. Enjoy – Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Dressed in the beautiful medium colour characteristic of this variety. Sweet notes of apricots, citrics, and peaches anticipate final hints of azahar flower notes. Fresh and lively in the mouth, this Viognier is concentrated, tasty, full and savoury. A wine of great character, density and structure, with good acidity level and great persistence.
