Natalie's Score: 91/100

Classic Viognier: love it! Floral and vibrant. Aromas of lilies, daisies and white roses. Perfect for Asian and curry dishes. Almost full-bodied, yet never heavy, just mouth-filling and viscous. Great price for such quality.

Viognier food pairings: rich seafood such as lobster and king crab, or a pepper crusted pork loin stuffed with apricot and fennel.

Reviews and Ratings

Seductive rich aromas entice with this 2013 vintage of Calliope Viognier
which offers up a perfumed bouquet of orange blossom, ripe apricot, peach
and cantaloupe with a hint of spice. It is rich and full bodied giving a
creamy texture on the mid-palate which lends an unctuous mouthfeel and
weight to the wine. Concentrated flavours of apricot, cantaloupe, honey and
Seville orange fill the mouth finishing off with a touch of anise spice on the
length.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
