Graham Beck Family Vineyards Chardonnay Viognier 2007

Lemony, zesty tones from the Chardonnay, while the Viognier provides the aromas of dried peaches and apricots on the nose. An explosion of tropical flavours on the palate with a great zippy freshness and a lingering finish.

Ideal as an aperitif or with Gravard Lax, Laksa’s or great with shellfish.
