This Guigal arrived as part of a sample pack from Yalumba in readiness for International Viognier Day on 30 April. If you were to describe this wine using an emoji, it would be 'meh'.
A blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne with a small percentage of Clairette, this shows focused pear and quince paste aromas along with custard pastry. To taste, it's quite flat and steady with no real zeal. Some soft ginger spice on close, I'm thinking pan-fried fish in a buttered sauce.
Drink to three years.
