The Ruins Chardonnay Viognier

This white blend with its constituents of 74% Chardonnay and 26% Viognier shows dimensions of fresh citrus and limey flavours to more peachy apricot and honey blossom flavours. These are complimented by the soft entry and fresh mouth feel that is long and lingering, finishing off as a well-balanced, multidimensional, and complex wine without being too serious. To be enjoyed everyday.

The wines were stabilized, filtered and bottled as soon as possible to ensure that the freshness and flavours were captured
