Light gold in colour with a medium to medium+ nose.
Positives: Here's another winner from Bonterra & a very pleasant surprise for producing a quality Viognier for under $20. Featuring peaches, apricots, mangoes, clementines, lemongrass & lemon custard. Medium light to medium body with good acidity & medium length.
Negatives: None.
Interesting Point: This Viognier is more citric & less oily & complex than Condrieu (the benchmark for Viogniers), but still very good for its price. Bonterra produces organic wines.
Drink now & pair it with lemon pepper grilled catfish.
Tasted: 4 Sept 12
