WINE DESCRIPTION
Eagles' Nest Viognier is a premium white wine produced by Eagles' Nest, a renowned winery located in the Constantia Valley of South Africa. The wine is made from Viognier grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which are situated on the slopes of the Constantiaberg Mountains. The vineyards benefit from the cool maritime climate and the unique soil composition of the region, which imparts distinctive flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in French oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex wine with notes of apricot, peach, and honey. Eagles' Nest Viognier is a full-bodied wine with a creamy texture and a long, elegant finish, making it a perfect pairing for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

The finish is smooth and long, with a slight sweetness that lingers on the tongue. Enjoy this delightful wine with a simple appetizer or a light summer meal.
