Calliope 2011 Viognier

89Points

The runaway favourite with the judges, Calliope has all the indicators of fine viognier. There are white blossoms, apricot, tropical citrus and subtle herb notes on the nose and surging flavours of white peach, lemon pepper and tangy lime. This has a lovely balance of acidity and juicy fruit that swell into a soft and lingering finish. Try it with equally exotic flavours like jackfruit curry, sockeye salmon ceviche or coconut cream risotto.
