Tasting - Riebeek Cellars Viognier


Name: Riebeek Cellars
Variety: Viognier
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $12.00

Winery review: This is a luscious viognier, featuring a deep yellow color, that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one manages to keep its figure within bounds. I recommend this for immediate, lip-smacking enjoyment.

My review: A very clear wine with a bitter and almost melonish smell. The taste was like a green apple, not a sour one, but a sweet green apple. The finish was smooth yet tasteful. Overall, the wine had excellent integration and I would drink it again.


This was tasted without food
