Viognier’s a good twist for this blend. Should add texture. This doesn’t show it though.
Clean, crisp and very fresh style but lacks much flavour persistence. Grass, pineapple juice to smell but little else besides acid on the palate. Flash of juice to finish.
Needs more stuffing.
Drink: 2013

Would I buy it? No
At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.
Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.
While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
