Eventide Viognier 2008

Winemaker's comments

Appearance: Clean clear and fresh with old gold hues.


Nose: Rich aromatic aromas of ripe pears and dried apricots.


Palate: Apricot and Kiwi flavours with a racy citrus finish.


Comments: Tasted at the beginning of June 2008.  A soft yet strong mouth feel.  This is a white wine with a fantastic ageing potential.

Enjoy with Roast Pork and Crackling served with apple sauce.
