Drinking Window: 2021 - 2022
This South African Viognier (with 10% Chardonnay) from a sustainably run estate is very forward for a 2020 – Viognier can often be quite closed when young – with a seductive peaches- and-cream character. A great wine to give someone who’s never tasted Viognier before, and rather delightfully named after the Cape honey bee
