Exuberant and forthright from the very first sniff. Plush stone-fruit aromas tumble out, like yellow plum and white peach flesh, wrapped in rose petals, ginger spice and something piquant and warming that recalls Aleppo chilli or curry leaf. Yet there’s also a crunch of just-ripe pear that keeps the wine feeling lively and fresh. Complex, aromatic and joyful. You could happily drink this with something equally expressive – perhaps a blue cheese, walnut and pear salad. Gorgeous Viognier from steep granite terraces in Condrieu.
