Waverley Hills Viognier Semillon Chardonnay 2014

Name: Waverley Hills Viognier Semillon Chardonnay 2014
Brand: Waverley Hills
SKU: 39650

It is a Mediterranean style wine with riper grapes, bigger oak vessels and a warm character. White tropical fruit flavours are complemented by fresh butter and nutty aromas. A dried fruit character gives the wine extra complexity with the subtle oak influence. This is a fresh wine that is full and well-balanced on the palate with a lingering silky aftertaste.

Unwood Semillon and Chardonnay were blended in before bottling for freshness.
