2020 Viognier, Hans Herzog, Marlborough, New Zealand

A truly astonishing and eye-opening wine. We have rarely tasted a wine that has had such immediate impact as Hans Herzog's Viognier. Aromas of white flowers, violet, honeysuckle, dried apricots and exotic fruits draw you in, and then on the palate it has incredible richness and depth. There is a hint of oak added a touch of spice, but this acts as a subtle seasoning to the layers of ripe fruit that engulf your tastebuds. The texture is sensational and the finish just goes on and on. Quite simply the finest Viognier we have tried in a long time.
