Haut Espoir Viognier 2006

The flavours and aromas are a mixture of ripe melon and ginger root. Undertones of peach and honey carry through to the finish which is smooth and elegant.

This Viognier is best enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to seafood curries, spiced Asian dishes and Sushi.

about the harvest: The grapes were hand harvested in the coolness of early morning on 21and 22 February and transported back to the cellar under cold conditions to retain freshness.
