Brampton Viognier 2004

Bronze - International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2005
The aromatics are splendid: springtime perfumery, fresh ginger, peaches & apricots, buchu and honeysuckle. The palate is waxy and delicate yet with an underlying strength and focus. Aromas follow effortlessly onto the rich palate. It tastes like no other wine!
