Niel Joubert Voice Viognier 2007

Bright yellow. Attractive nose with white peach and clean oak followed by sweet vanilla. Developing flavours in the mouth with rich flow across the palate. Sweet fruited with lots of vanilla spice, lanolin and fynbos honey hints. Good balance.

And why "VOICE" we are sure will be your immediate response? Well, if one thing can be said with certainty about Niel Joubert, it is that it is not a "flashy" brand, and the philosophy has always been to let the wines speak for themselves!
