Tasting-Riebeek Cellars Viognier

Name:  Riebeek Cellars Viognier
Variety: 100% Viognier                     


Region: Swartland, South Africa 
Country: Africa

Year: 2015

Winery Review: A luscious Viognier, featuring a deep yellow color that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one keeps it's figure within bounds. Recommend for immediate, lip smacking enjoyment -Washington Post.
My Review: Straw yellow in color. I did not enjoy the aroma of this Viognier as I had trouble getting past a strong alcohol smell filling my nose. Within the flavor I was initially reminded of sweet apricot and peach, but as the aftertaste came in to play I received an acidic and metallic finish.
Food?:  did not pair with food.
