Gold! Not in taste... in colour.

Stone fruit. So much stone fruit.

A light and supple Viognier that is delightfully food friendly. Nectarine, quince and a refreshing salinity combine deliciously.

A glass of this went into a sauce and the whole thing worked very nicely together. Unfortunately my wife and I ended up eating separately because the baby was freaking out in the midst of the much documented eight month sleep regression...

Bitter and tight on day 1, it seemed like it was shot. Day 2 way better, a nice expression of minerality, with elegant white floral scents, and white peach. Not your powerhouse of exotic fruits like many Viognier can be, thisnis all about the elegance and minerality at this stage. Pair your food wisely as this has good acidity.

Fontarca back on form. 2012 still holding up well, but looking forward to the new 2013 release. Despite the relatively high price it is probably best to DYA. Although the winery has some exceptional older vintages in its library.
