The 2009 Viognier has a fine quite understated bouquet with touches of hazelnut, lime, almond and lemon curd with good definition. The palate is medium-bodied with a waxy texture, good acidity and just a touch of spice towards the finish. It is a good take on a capricious grape variety. Drink now-2013.
