Drink Excellent to drink now, or over the next 2 or 3 years
Bright, clear, medium straw/gold colour. The nose has enticing aromas of apples, apricots and honey, with a touch of oak vanillin and notes of cinnamon, clove and ginger. The initial mouth-feel is fairly rich and quite honeyed, with the faintest hint of residual sugar. There are some lovely flavours of apricot and peach, along with some citrus notes which add a delightful freshness - not so much lemon as mandarin orange and a touch of zest. The wine was allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation (the natural conversion of of harsher malic acid into softer lactic acid) and it makes for a lovely, quite complex wine, which is drinking beautifully already. Cracking stuff!

Tasting note by The Wine Gang - December 2009
"
Whilst more and more Viognier producers are avoiding the flabbiness that once blighted attempts to emulate the great Viognier wines of Condrieu, this fantastically aromatic example moves up to another plane. The nose has masses of herbs and downy peach skins, little floral notes, and lots of exotic tamarind and lychee. The palate has lovely grapefruity tang, with freshness allied to a little vanilla smoothness and weight. A great Viognier, and fab value. 93/100"
