Backsberg Babylons Toren Viognier 2008

This Babylons Toren selection Viognier came from low yielding vineyards producing grapes with exceptional flavours of apricot, peach and lemon. 50% barrel fermention in small French oak barriques has provided the complex nuances of cinnamon and hazelnut. Partial malolactic fermentation and eight months ageing on the yeast lees have added a creamy texture and a powerful finish. Bottled with screw cap closure to ensure the longest possible life.

Superb as an aperitif, with heavy cream dishes or with light flavoured Pacific Rim, fusion dishes.
