A lovely, juicy Viognier with floral, honey apricot, ginger aromas on the nose, dry with lemon zest, soft orange, ripe stone fruit and cake spice flavours on the palate. Great acidity for food. Pair with mild and medium curries.

Viognier food pairings: grilled shrimp, lobster, crab cakes.

Beautiful and fragrant. Aromas of honey blossom, lemon and orange, along with hints of warm spice. Medium bodied, smooth on the palate, with citrus and spicy hints. Enjoy with creamy seafood pasta with lots of lemon.

Colin McKone - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Pale straw in colour with aromas of peach, lemon and honey suckle. It is medium bodied with medium acidity. It has flavours of white citrus and stone fruit. This will pair well with seafood and soft cheeses. Tasted on November 17, 2019.

Pam Hatton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Pale straw with white floral - jasmine- peach, citrus and a touch of mineral/smoke. Medium body with balanced acidity giving to stone fruit, lemon and some minerality. Clean medium long finish. Great value for this varietal.

I am loving this medium-bodied 2018 Reserve Speciale Viognier from the Roussillon wine region, produced by Gérard Bertrand. Juicy with honeyed apricot, ginger, ripe stone fruit and soft orange flavours on the palate. Great acidity for food. Amazing value under $15. Pair with mild and medium curries. - Community Wine Reviews
