Flowery bouquet full of ripe pineapple, mango, and tapioca pudding on a pale golden hue.
Palate-- Nice acidic structure with an off dry mouth watering juiciness full of tropical fruit, a gentle citrus beam, but finishes very quickly and wondering "what happened."
Viognier--pronounced, Vee-oh-Nyay, is a little known grape but the signature grape and only permissible grape in the Condrieu region of France. This is an Aussie wine and it's decent enough but I am not feeling at all the 91 points James Suckling--one of my wine mentors--gives this wine.
At around $12 it is just "OK" but chill it down a bit and I am pairing it with my homemade Chilean sea bass, Manilla clams and shrimp chowder. It should be a lovely meal. Raise a glass!
