Ballandean Estate Viognier 2012 (Granite Belt, QLD)
Ballandean Estate is one of the stalwarts of QLD wine, pumping out consistent wines that can lack excitement, but are typically clean and sound.
With a whole strip of trophies from the QLD Wine Awards I thought this might be the wine to buck the trend, but its a clean, neutral and simple, the mid-palate showing some fleshiness before finishing crisp and dry.
Varietally sound but ultimately boring Viognier.
Drink: 2013-2014
Score: 16/20, 87/100
Would I buy it? No.
