Plenty of stone fruit, but it didn't pack all of the perfumed punch I think I was expecting from a Viognier.

This distinctly laid-back, understated Viognier - Fairview has been picking these vines earlier in recent years - eschews exotic peach and apricot ripeness for dusty citrus peel, subtle florality and a hint of oak. Smooth, dry and food-friendly, it finishes with firm shape and good grip. (ST)

Banging. A proper Viongnier that can stand up to the Wasabi and pickled ginger of a quality sushi dinner. A real mouth full of apricot and good acidity.
