Winery 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 or roast pork."
My Review: The nose was filled with citrus, pineapple, salt and vinegar with a distrinct mineral component. The acidity was quite distinct and a little overpowering, but I still got notes of tangerine, garlic, and vinaigrette dressing. As previously mentioned, the malic acid came a little strong and was enough to deem this less enjoyable than the previous white. Maybe it would be better paired with food, and I'd be willing to try this with an eggplant salad or anything with zucchini.
