Graham Beck Chardonnay Viognier 2011

A delicate yet complex nose of dried apricots, fresh peaches and floral tones, supported by underlying fresh citrus nuances. A creamy entry followed by an abundance of tropical fruit, leading to a long, crisp and elegant finish.

Ideal as an aperitif or with smoked salmon, great with shellfish or enjoy Al fresco.
