Passage Rock Reserve Viognier 2019, Waiheke Island
Classic bouquet with aromas of flowers and stone fruits, layers of spice and gently nutty wood tones. On the palate - delicious! Cream and silk textured mouth feel with a spice and warming alcohol amplifying the fruit and soft barrel layers. Medium acidity contrasts the weight and richness at the core of this wine. Flavours of apricot and peach, apple and pear, flowers and fruit spice, a soft and mild toasty barrel layer adding complexity and length. Balanced and well made with a lengthy finish. Best drinking from today and through 2023.
