In the press...

Of the 2010 vintage, Jamie Goode said: “Viognier is a grape known for making textured wines, and here’s an attractively rich, bold, peachy white with some pear notes and a nice broad feel in the mouth.”

Of the 2010 vintrage, Olly Smith said: “If you’re a lover of apricots and peaches, this organic white wine has plenty of scented summery fruity flavours with a jostle of aromatic spice. Great with mild spicy recipes or fish cakes.”
