Babylonstoren Viognier 2024

Pale straw with glints of gold. Exotic nose reminding of tropical islands with intriguing aromas of spiced tangerine, honeysuckle, orange blossom, ripe apricots and peach. Full flavoured and perfectly balanced with zesty bitter orange giving depth to succulent stone fruit; satisfying, lingering aftertaste.

The perfect partner with grilled kingklip in saffron mussel sauce, coronation chicken, chicken tagine with apricot and almond, and roast pork with roasted root vegetables.
