A wonderful source of grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2023 is beautifully balanced, with great texture and surprisingly lively acidity for the variety. Viognier can sometimes feel heavy, but this one stays fresh and energetic, finishing with a nice mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose shows tropical and ripe orchard fruit — peach, nectarine, honeysuckle, apricot and a hint of melon — along with light floral and spice notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the wine is rich and creamy but nicely controlled, avoiding the thick, oily and heavy style Viognier can sometimes show. Flavours of poached pear, ripe peach, nectarine and even fresh pineapple lead into a long flinty finish with a touch of white spice and white pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent value around $25 and a very complete expression of Niagara Viognier.
