Fairview Viognier 2016

Bright gold colour in the glass with fruity, floral notes, peaches and subtle oak aromas. Enjoy a rich complex palate with honeycomb and dry apricots followed by a charming creamy finish.

Viognier is very flexible, working in a wide variety of seafood, roasted or grilled chicken, pork, spicy flavors and Asian cuisine. A Malay curry with delicate spice and dried fruits is particularly delicious when paired with Viognier.
