Zonneweelde Private Selection Viognier 2019

This Viognier is praised for its full-bodied character and balanced blend of fruit, oak, and floral notes. Reviewers highlight its silky texture, tropical fruit aromas, and good value. While most appreciate its complexity, one critic returned their bottle without detailed feedback.

This Viognier presents a luminous straw hue, offering a bouquet of ripe apricot, honeysuckle, and a whisper of ginger spice. On the palate, it unfolds with a voluptuous texture, showcasing layers of peach and lychee, underscored by a vibrant acidity that maintains balance and freshness. The mid-palate reveals a subtle minerality, adding depth to its opulent fruit profile. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering note of orange blossom and a hint of almond. This wine exemplifies the varietal's potential in a warm climate, making it a benchmark for New World Viognier.
