Amazing chenin from Swartland area.

A promising pale gold, clear and shiny in the glass. Abundantly fruity and forthcoming yet refined on the nose with fragrant white peach aromas mingling with a rich, creamy character. These follow well onto the palate and combine seamlessly with crisp minerality and bouncy, well-integrated natural acidity.

How can a sub-10€ wine possibly be this good?? Tonnes of muted acidity, stone fruit, lemon, peach and honeysuckle. Doesn't feel 6 years old at all, except for the refined touch. What a find!

3.8 drank at ginger dog Brighton. Very classy and elegant viognier. Understated. Paired well with trout. £41 slightly pushing it though

• Tasting Notes: Silky and aromatic with ripe peach, apricot, and delicate jasmine florals. A gentle oak influence adds roundness, with a long, smooth finish and subtle richness without heaviness. Steel barrel ⭐ Floral, peachy, and effortlessly elegant with a soft, silky finish 🍽 Pairing suggestion: Roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes, or lamb

Absolutely lovely. Great value for money. Balanced. Extremely quaffable. And not lemony, according to my friend Andy

Heerlijk glas Viognier. Bloemig bouquet met tropisch fruit (rijpe perzik). Licht tot medium vol mondgevoel met mooie ronde medium lange finish. Uitstekend in balans. Ook wat romigs te ontdekken. Erg lekker.

The restraint to keep to simple elegance is clear with the viognier. Not overly aromatic, with a light mouthfeel that isn’t too oily or waxy peach cream minerals honey pear

Aromatic but not too overpowering. Elegant, crisp with a round texture on the mid palate. Long finish. Approachable and versatile with Singapore food! peach apricot cream minerals honeysuckle

Floral on the nose, with hints of minerality. Medium to high acidity, with citrusy notes on the palate

Is it a good or bad Viognier? I don’t know but I like it. And Viognier is not my favorite grape until now.
