Idiom Viognier 2012

Name: Idiom Viognier 2012
Brand: Idiom
SKU: 32246

A clean and complex example of elegantly oaked Viognier. Pale straw appearance with exuberant honeysuckle and ripe apricot notes on the nose. A fine midpalate is followed by a lingering and captivating mélange of citrus peel, candied fruit and Panettone. Serve well chilled and enjoy the evolution of flavours in the glass.

A wine to savour with or without food.
