Notes:

The 2006 season led to opulent and aromatic aromas and flavours being present in this wine, with many layers of complexity and lusciousness. On the nose, the aroma is intense with white peaches, apricots and ginger. The palate is lifted with ginger spice, layered mineral texture and complex apricots along with white stone fruit flavours. The trademark Viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine which is rich, lush-textured and complex while at the same time showing restraint that should ensure good cellaring for at least 3-4 years. Awards and Accolades: 1 Gold award
