Tasting Notes:
Aromatically profound, the Noble Viognier showcases an opulent bouquet of raisin, honey, apricot, and lychee, with hints of vanilla and crème brûlée emerging as it ages. The palate is rich and concentrated, delivering luscious notes of dried fruits, honey, and a whisper of spice, supported by a vibrant seam of acidity that ensures balance and freshness. The full-bodied attack gives way to a silky mid-palate and a long, lingering finish that is never cloying. Enjoy this wine as the perfect accompaniment to blue cheese, dried fruit platters, or a decadent dessert.
