Babylonstoren Viognier 2018

Light yellowish tint. Showcase layers of fresh peaches with dried apricot and blossom aromas. The wood contributes to depth, although not strongly noticeable. The mouth-feel is round and creamy from the 30% well integrated French oak (7 months). A floral nose and lime zest finish complete the perfect balance.

Matched best with complex flavours like shellfish dishes or any type of spicy or curry dish.
