Wine Critic Review: Birght light straw in color with some green hues, this wine has a lush ripe tropical fruit aroma. This is a fuller bodied white which fills the mouth with heady flavors of apricot, peach, and citrus. Angove Nine Vines Viognier is perfect for today's relaxed life-style and is the ideal accompaniment to grilled prawns with chili and garlic or roast pork.
My Review: I could not detect many aromas from this wine on the nose, just some vague acidity. This wine had more subtle flavors, and I could not pick up many strong fruit flavors at all. It was a drier wine and a little tart. As I continued to drink the wine it became surprisingly sweeter and I could taste a little citrus, especially lemon peel. I did not eat any food with this wine, but I might buy it again because I think it could be a good accompaniment to the food.
