Angove Viognier



Name: Angove Viognier
Country: Austrailia
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95

Winery review:  Bright light straw in colour with some green hues, this wine has a lush ripe tropical fruit aroma. This is a fuller bodied white which fills the mouth with heady flavours of apricot, peach and citrus.  Angove Nine Vines Viognier is perfect for today's relaxed life-style and is the ideal accompaniment to grilled prawns with chilli and garlic or roast pork.

My review: This was a nice wine. On the nose, I got a really fruit-forward, new world bouquet of citrus, apricot, and ripe peaches. I don’t like the winery review on this one at all because it doesn’t tell me a whole lot. What is “today’s relaxed life-style”? I could definitely write better reviews than that (and do!).

I’d love to have this wine paired with a fruit and cheese platter or something equally light. This was a tasty one.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
