2016 Reserve Viognier | 750ml | 15.2% alc

Skin contact, neutral barrel fermentation and ageing, along with the complete malolactic fermentation, brings a richness to the palate while retaining the tropical citrus notes associated with Viognier. Bold aromatics of orange marmalade, toasted coconut, macadamia nut, are accompanied by clove, nutmeg and a hint of allspice before finishing with a slight tartness reminiscent of pineapple and orange oil that carry through to the palate and create an explosion of flavors.
