Tasting notes
Brilliant yellow straw with olive hues. Lifted tropical melon and candied fruits are supported by intense mango, kiwi and honeysuckle on the palate. The natural acidity provides structure and freshness to the complex array of sweet tropical fruits.
Food pairings
This Viognier is well recommended with raw seafood such as sushi and oysters, prawn salad dressed with olive oil. To be matched as well with fresh cheeses and spicy bread. Serve at 10-12°C.
