Sharp and almost windex-y on the nose, smooth peach and plum notes with just a little acid.

This 2015 Eden Valley (South Australia) Viognier from Tim Smith Wines was the last bottle in my first months subscription wine club pack from The Wine Gallery. Perhaps also the bottle I was most excited about too. The tasting notes provided with the bottle said it went well with Middle Eastern spices so I figured it was a great time to cook up a big pot of Egyptian Koshary and the match was 👌
This 100% Viognier is clear as water on the eye with a slight yellow tinge. Spiced apples and lemons dominate the nose for me. It's has a wonderful silky texture on the palate with elegant flavours that hug every inch of your mouth. The super long finish kept you going back for more. I was dubious of the wine standing up to the strong spices in the dish but the fruit weight in the wine was the perfect accompaniment!
To get 40% off your first monthly subscription order from The Wine Gallery simply use the promo code 'travellingcorkscrew' at the checkout. The tasting book pictured came with my first order too!
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine

Best combo of structure, gentle spice, fruit and acidity, fantastic wine

The first time I tasted this I wasn’t in the mood for it and put it away. The second time I tasted it I loved it. It’s smooth and creamy. Smells like honey dew with a dash of salt. Someone else described it as smoky ham and pineapple pizza - yes!

Really nice- not too fruity, some mineral. Very balanced white.
