Idiom Viognier 2019

Idiom Viognier 2019

R250,00

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