Good solid after dinner wine, medium weight, with a note of nectarines, not to sweet.

Enjoyable with subtle floral flavours and a crisp aroma with hints of unripened pear. Would not recommend on its own, but rather would pair with a bold or pungent flavour be it a blue cheese or a spicy food.

French grape in a hot climate. Nice and viscous compared to a French Viognier, more developed flavours and more body.

Honey scent and ginger-ish flavor. Not my favorite Viognier, but totally drinkable.
