Graham Beck Chardonnay / Viognier 2009

Citrus, zesty tones from the Chardonnay complimented by peaches from the Viognier. A full creamy entry which explodes with tropical flavours is followed by a rich almond mid-palate and a long lingering finish.

Ideal as an aperitif or with Gravard Lax, great with shellfish or enjoy Al fresco.
