Mischa Wine Information
Eventide Viognier 2006
Winemaker's comments
Colour: Bright lemon yellow
Nose: Attractive mix of wood and fruit aromas. The fruit is quite tropical without being defined at this stage.
Palate: A mélange of luscious fruit and wood characters that make for a balanced but complex range of flavours. It has a medium to long finish that underlines the attractive wood component.
Comments: A good lunchtime wine to drink with a salad meal like a Salad Nicoise of a firm full flavoured fish. Enjoy this wine over till the end of 2007.
