Kumkani Viognier 2007

Rich, elegant style with aromas of lime, apricot. Well supported by a complex but well balanced pallet - peach, honey suckle and vanilla being the main features. Excellent wood integration which adds to the rich flavours and lingering aftertaste.

This wine can be enjoyed on its own, delicious with seafood or roasted chicken.
