Stunning example of how good Viognier can be. It suits that warm Gissy climate in a very good vintage.

2012 Deep greeny gold, slightly sweet preserved apricot but definitely dry, good acidity, spicy minerality with a dried fruit and nutmeg note. Long finish.
A delicious biodynamic delight from a great Kiwi winemaker.
