Bon Cap Private Cellar Viognier 2009

This Viognier, produced from a low-yielding vineyard (5t/ha) displays very intense, and upfront, honey blossom, spicy, dried peach and apricot flavours with subtle hints of typical musky Viognier aromas.  The full-bodied but crisp and fresh palette with its well-integrated oak component makes this wine a suitable companion to Malaysian-, Oriental- and spicy dishes.
