This wine is pale gold in its youth, but with time will develop straw and deeper gold tints. Stonefruit dominates the nose of this wine; peaches, nectarines, apricots. Mingled with this are floral notes (lemon flower and orange flower) backed by gentle spice notes. Viognier gives weight and richness on the start, then the Chardonnay component kicks in, focusing and giving structure to the palate. The Chardonnay component gives the wine focus and familiarity while the Viognier component adds weight and richness along with breadth and length of flavour. The Viognier also brings a hint of exotica to the assemblage.
