Winery review: Our distinctive blend marries the crisp, honeyed citrus fruit of Chenin Blanc with the plush body soft floral and juicy peach notes of Viognier for a lush, versatile and delicious wine. Enjoy a glass on its own or try it alongside your favorite seafood or spicy dish.



My review: I really enjoyed this Chenin Blanc and Viognier combination! I got a lot of floral and fruity notes along with a theme of light weight, fresh, warm air.  On the taste, I got some great citrus fruits, not like an orange, but maybe more of kiwi or mango. I also taste a bit of honeysuckle. There is a very nice balance between the dryness and acidity of this wine. I think this wine it great by itself, but would also go well with some seafood.

I had this wine without food.
