Bellingham The Maverick Viognier 2002

Colour: Rich straw with a green hue.
Nose: Upfront, bold and aromatic with a melange of litchi, peach and spice aromas.
Palate: All the aromas are carried through to the rich, full palate which has a hint of sweetness and good acid to finish. The flavours linger invitingly on the aftertaste. Overall a robust, ample-bodied wine, brimming with spice, peach, litchi and tropical fruit flavours, remarkable aromatics and a generous mouthfeel.
