Niel Joubert Viognier 2005

The wine exhibits a brilliant golden hue as a result of the partial oak maturation. The nose offers ginger and peppery flavours with the oak evident in the background. On the palate, the wine is lovely, rich and creamy.

Delicious on its own or will go well with a light curry, stir fry or any Thai style dish.
