I admit I had higher hopes for this. The Viognier is just hinted at in this blend, I would never have guessed it even had any in it. Tight, minerally nose with hints of gooseberries and kiwifruit. Quite full bodied with flavours of tangy, sour green apple. It's a bit hard and flinty really, but would match well with seafood and rich cream sauces.

Very intriguing nose, lots going on there; pears, minerals, sage, anise & hay. The palate…so disappointing not much fruit here, hard and lacking acidity to have a balance wine for me. More acidity would have given this wine a lift and made it more refreshing. I also would not have guess that Viognier was in this blend at all. Had this wine with pork tenderloin with a cream sauce wasn’t a great match. At the end of the day I was expecting better.
