Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe LS viognier has always been a rich, open, blousy style and the 2017 is no exception. This wine is all about rich, peach flavours dotted with melon and orange. Barriques and concrete eggs have given it plentiful texture that soaks up a bit of the fruit richness and alcohol lending it a sense of balance that you might not expect. The finish is long and persistent with bits of ginger ale and candied orange. Perfect for a favourite curry.Tasted: 12 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRestraint isn't for everyone. Or every wine. If you're in that camp, you probably love viognier, a hedonistic, lush grape. It well suits Laughing Stock's style, showing ripe peach, apricot, honeydew and sweet salami. Split time between French oak, stainless and concrete eggs ups the texture, as does ample lees work. There's a wash of ginger ale that warms the finish, and welcomes food.Tasted: 09 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:
