  Appearance: medium lemon, with legs.
  
  On nose : medium+ intensity, stone fruit: very peachy, petroleum, tropical fruit : pineapple, subtle of citrus: grapefruit, buttery, yellow flora, mineral, very pleasant.
  
  On palate :dry, medium+ flavour intensity, medium acidity, not as buttery as the nose present. Peachy, citrus and mineral, petroleum flavour are still there. Medium+ alcohol, medium+ body with medium, subtle of bitterness finishing.
  
  One may find that it is quite similar to Riesling, but u can still distinguish from it with the ingredients of Viognier because of the peachy flavour. From the technical sheet :
  45% Viognier (limestony clay)
  20% Marsanne (limestony sands)
  25% Picpoul de Pinet (limestony sands)
  10% Clairette (limestone)
  
  This is a good wine and ripeness of the fruitiness inside the wine is well defined. Aroma is better than on palate but still enjoyable with food such as baked chicken and pan fried fish. Cheers!

  lovely wine.
  Pear and citrus. Rich mouth feel with some oiliness but not overbearing. Worked wonderfully with creole food. Really shined with Redfish chowder.

  Nice and balanced, but all to much viognier for me. To smooth and to little acidity.

  A blend of 45% Viognier, 25% Picpoul, 20% Marsanne and 10% Clairette, this yellow/gold wine is definitely something special. Possessing the beautiful perfumed floral aromatics of Viognier, it is supported by equally intense aromas and flavors of citrus, peach and wet stones from its buttressing grapes. Medium bodied, crisply acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 13.5%), it stays dense on the mid-palate and finishes with good length. Buy this one by the case! Drink now-2018.
