Vrede En Lust Simonsberg-Paarl Viognier 2011

A very expressive Viognier with typical apricot and peach flavours. Full bodied and delicately balanced with oak. The wine has an off dry level of residual sugar to compliment the full body, which follows through onto the palate.

Fantastic food wine complementing a wide variety of spicy Thai / Asian / curry dishes. Also goes well with cheese dishes, pasta and richer seafood. Definitely a conversation wine!
