White Wine > Other Varieties > Brokenwood Indigo Vineyard Viognier 2006 (Beechworth, VIC)
|
COMMENTS
A native of the Rhone Valley and in particular the grape of Condrieu. Its versatility is such that it is often used in Shiraz to add fruit lift. A much more normal ripening season and picking with thankfully not a bushfire to be seen. The even moderate Beechworth climate has given great fruit characters.
TASTING NOTES
The most arresting feature of Viognier is its aromas. Lifted apricot and cherry blossom characters. The oak impact is very slight and adds texture to the palate. The palate features apricot and is full-bodied from glycerol and alcohol of 15.0%. This adds length and the flavours carry to the end and linger. While some Northern hemisphere examples do age well, this is best consumed over the short term.
FOOD
Asian, eg laksa, pidgeon or quail.
