Taste
This Viognier bursts with aromas of apricot, peach blossom, and citrus zest, followed by subtle notes of honey and spice. On the palate, it’s rich and round with a creamy mouthfeel, balanced by bright acidity. Flavors of ripe peach, apricot, apple, and lemon unfold beautifully, leading to a juicy, elegant finish with a gentle touch of spice.
