GRAPES VARITETIES: Viognier
TASTING NOTES: A focused, well-shaped Condrieu with texture and tension. Notes of white peaches, white flowers and warm herbs on the nose, following through to a medium body with plenty of volume to the linear mid-palate. Concentrated and driven, with a refreshing bitter-almond character on the citrusy finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Chicken satay | Rich Fish | Risotto | Turkey | Pork BBQ | Chilean Wagyu ribeye
