Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Pale straw in hue, the wine glistens with a touch of gold, hinting at the richness to come.
Nose:
Enticing aromas of ripe nectarine and juicy peach leap from the glass, beautifully wrapped in delicate floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom. A subtle hint of ginger adds complexity and intrigue, inviting you to explore further.
Palate:
The palate is immediately fresh and creamy, delivering layers of stone fruit and citrus. Mandarin zest brightens the mid-palate while gentle floral undertones create an elegant, rounded mouthfeel. The refined texture-achieved through meticulous sur lie ageing-adds depth and suppleness to each sip.
Finish:
The finish is long and persistent, tapering off with mouth-watering hints of ginger and spice. Lingering notes of orchard fruit and blossom leave a lasting impression, making this Viognier both utterly satisfying and irresistibly moreish.
