Spier Private Collection Viognier 2004

The wine is pale yellow in colour with attractive green tints at the edge. Aromas of dried pear and subtle whiffs of cloves and cinnamon follow through on the palate where they are complemented by rich dried apricot – all well integrated with a delightful, leesy character and good oak in the background.

Serve with spicy dishes such as Cape Malay curry.
