Brampton Viognier 2002

NEW
The aromatics are splendid: springtime perfumery, spicy flowers and fruit – ripe fruit, dried fruit, orange blossoms, pears, jasmine and tangerine. The palate is waxy and delicate yet with an underlying strength and focus. Aromas follow effortlessly onto the rich palate. It tastes like no other wine!
