Quick Overview
Appearance: Like freshly dried straw.
Bouquet: Hints of apricot, ripe apples, and honeydew melon with a touch of musk and ginger, plus a hint of cashewy, creamy complexity from the fermentation and maturation of approx half of the wine in aged, French oak barrels.
Palate: Rich mouthfeel which is a key ingredient in any good Viognier, and arises principally from the fruit, with a helping hand from that oak maturation; plus fresh acidity and moderate phenolics. The latter two work together to ensure that it remains refreshing, without excessive oily weight.
