AYAMA Leopard Spot White 2017

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

The highly aromatic and fruit forward nature of the grape allows this wine to pair well with spicy foods such as Thai cuisine 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. it pairs equally well with many outspoken (French) cheeses.
