Grape

Viognier

Origin
A Majestic exclusive, harvested from Viu Manent's San Carlo vineyard in Cunaco, Colchagua Valley. Made without oak and cold-fermented, this Viognier has been made with fresh primary fruit characters in mind, with 2 month's lees ageing adding a dash of depth and texture.
Taste
Bright, Vibrant yellow in colour, displaying aromas of quince, pineapple and apricot. The palate is a cascade of tropical fruit, peach and pear flavours, soft acidity and light texture.
Enjoy
Matches well with fruity savoury dishes: try with a mild chicken tagine with ginger, chilli and apricots.

    A rather smooth operator

    Had this wine with a pork joint and it led to quite an interesting discussion across the table. It's profile suggests 'dry' but I have to say that this did not come across as being that dry. It was very smooth and surprisingly full bodied on the palate. It did not really have a lingering dry taste but a subtle aromatic finish that was very pleasant. The body was very much composed of fruits such as melon, pineapple and lychees. I would rate this as a less-than-dry Voignier and good value for money if you buy two bottles @ £7.99 each.

      Found this voignier smooth and refreshing both on its own and with pasta. It was not at all dry but full of fruit flavours with an armomatic aftertaste. We bought a further 6 bottles because we found it very easy to drink but with depth.

    Nice wine for price bracket

    We used to buy alot of chillean wine, but recently moved to typical New Zealand offerings. This was a welcome change. Will buy more in future.

    Superdry

    A nice enough Viognier but more than a bit too dry.
