Sun-ripened apricots and mandarin oil. Scented lilies and marzipan. Voluptuous and floral as an idyllic summer at the beach.

Palate
Intensely rich palate, superb concentration, and seamless integration of stone fruit, nougat, honeysuckle and jasmine. Succulent nectarine, silky hazelnut and subtle baking spice notes all lead to a fine, long sea salt-tinged finish.

Classy viognier with spicy oak, attractive
apricot, subtle honeysuckle and roasted
nut flavours. Fermented in barrels with a
full malolactic fermentation. Impressive
wine with fully ripe flavours and
freshness from tangy acidity.
