Tasting- Riebeek Cellars Viognier 2015


25 February 2016

Riebeek Cellars Viognier 2015
Name: Riebeek Cellars Viognier 2015
Variety: Viognier
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $7.95
ABV: 13.5%/750mL

Washington Post Review: This is a luscious viognier, featuring a deep yellow color, that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one manages to keep its figure within bounds. I recommend this for immediate, lip-smacking enjoyment. 

My Review: Clear golden color with a floral bouquet. Light bodied with strong scents of peach, pear, and honey on the nose. Sweet honey taste with a powerful peach finish. A little too sweet for my taste, but lately these white wines have been making some major progress. 

Food: I did not have this with food.
