Babylonstoren Viognier 2021

Light, yellowish tint. Showcases layers of fresh peaches with dried apricot and blossom aromas. The wood contributes to depth, although not strongly noticeable. The mouth-feel is round and creamy from the 30% well integrated French oak (seven months). A floral nose and lime zest finish complete the perfect balance.

Matched best with complex flavours such as shellfish dishes or any type of spicy or curry dish.
