Bench 1775 Viognier 2018
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe viognier aromas here are always on the sweet, candied tangerine side. The attack is similar, with a touch of soapy/green fruit to keep it lively on the palate, off-dry with litchi and orchard fruits with a splash of ginger. The winery suggests spicy Thai dishes, no doubt to offset the sugar and balance the palate. It would also be fine on a hot summer patio served well chilled.Tasted: 17 December 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $24.90 | 750ml | wine club members only |
