CLEANSKIN - Margaret River Viognier 2004

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008


Margaret River, WAViognier is a fabulous wine grown largely in the Rhone valley. This is a very interesting wine; very true to the variety. It is action packed with apricots, orange peel, lychees and marzipan with well poised acidity. The palate is seamless and beautifully textured with good weight and a dry, lasting finish. A fine drink now, a year or two in bottle will do no harm! This mouth-watering stuff deserves to be enjoyed with food.
