  Excellent. 13.5% alc.
  Colour: golden green
  Bouquet: apricots, spicey tropical fruit - pineapple, guava
  Palate: as bouquet, apricots and pears, grapey texture, full bodied, very uplifted acid, very long clean dry finish. Seems ageless; still so fresh.

  Paler than I expected, but as a NZ expression of Viognier I personally am very pleased; the candied richness and apricots of the varietal were captured along with the floral notes on the nose, but the finish rich, but also pure, clean and refreshing. no, it is not a Condrieu, but it is a damned good drink!
