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 and garlic or roast pork."
My Review: Had a very tropical nose/acidic to me, I was hoping to taste quite a bit of fruit on the first taste but it was milder than I first expected. It also had a grassy nose about it, but no grassy palate for me. This alike the Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc had a fresh palate, cleansing in a way. It was good all around, not to much heat, not too bold but just a good balance between the fruitier/mellow flavors.
On this occasion I tasted this wine on its own without food
