Seductive aromas of fields of wild flowers mixed with honey, melon, and ginger draw you in.
The palate reeks of elegance and finesse with an exceptionally smooth rich mouthfeel, wonderful texture and impressive depth and complexity. Seamless layers of honey, ginger, dried apricots, melon, and almonds with just a hint of stoney flint and spices on the finish.
This is such a complete wine with eight years in the cellar bringing everything together with focus and precision.
I reviewed the 2019 a few years ago, and while it was very impressive and considered a marginally better vintage, the years of aging has only benefited the 2016 vintage. An absolute delight to drink.
All the hallmarks of a classic Viognier that stands head and shoulders above the rest- it doesn’t get much better than this- one of my all-time favorites.
Pairings should include Salmon, grilled chicken, Turkey, Pork, Lobster, Crab and Prawns as well as spicy Indian Chicken and Goat Dishes.
