Vintage Cellar 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: On the nose, this Viognier smelled mostly of chalk dust, lemon peel, and tropical fruits. It tasted dry with light acid, light tannins, and a smooth, chalky finish. I was sort of disappointed because I really didn't taste much fruit at all; it just seemed to be a bit of lemon peel, grass, and chalk dust. I wouldn't drink this wine by itself, but I think it would pair nicely with seafood and buttery cream sauces that might go with chicken or pork chops.
I had this wine without food.
