Idiom Viognier 2019

An opulent, barrel-fermented Viognier with a typical light straw colour. Initial top notes of rose petal potpourri develop into a complex melange of litchi, pink lady apple and vanilla on the nose. This medium to full-bodied wine has an elegant, creamy mid-palate followed by a lingering sensation of nectarine and lavender. Serve chilled and enjoy the evolution of flavours in the glass.
