| Tasting Notes / Comments: | A rich complexity of pears, mango, floral honeysuckle and violets aromas and flavours.
Weavers of Nottingham (2000 vintage)
The tinge of green in this otherwise pale yellow wine is more reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc than a Viognier. The nose gradually opens up with honey and floral aromas, someone described it as peaches and cream – perhaps more a note of pleasure than a pure description of the smell. In the mouth this wine has a creaminess with oaky vanillas and rounded fruity tastes and then just that hint of bitterness on the side of the tongue. A good length with a cooling effect ideal for hot sunny days.
'Enjoying Viognier' (2000 vintage)
A weighty(ish) palate - with a delicious creamy texture. A goodly amount of flavour too - sweet violets was the initial impression followed by that whipped softness of spicy honeysuckle flowers that screams Viognier. Lovely.
