Idiom Viognier 2021

R250.00

Velvety and versatile. An elegant, barrel-fermented viognier with a typical light straw colour. Initial top notes of passionfruit develop into a delicate me?lange of white pear and rosewater on the nose. Mineral, orange blossom and nougat notes linger on the palate.
Serve chilled and enjoy the evolution of flavours in the glass. The ultimate pairing wine with shellfish, seafood, veal, pork, roast chicken or curried Malay dishes.
