AYAMA Viognier 2010

Light golden yellow appearance - delicate complex wine with peach, apricot, honey and spice aromas. Intense rounded mouth feel, ripe pear opulence, long finish. Fresh.

Ideal served at: 10 - 12° C

The highly aromatic and fruit forward nature of the grape allows Viognier to pair well with spicy foods such as or vietnamese cuisine.The subtle floral notes of our viognier and vinified without the use of oak barrels tend towards the ones found in saké, thus making it a perfect match with sushi and sashimi. Viognier pairs equally well with many outspoken (french) cheeses.
