Tasting- Oxford Landing Viognier

Name:  Oxford Landing
Variety: Viognier
Region: Southern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: Regular: $13, Sale: $8.95

Magazine Review: "A  pale straw with lime green hue, the Oxford Landing Estates Viognier 2011 has a lifted musk and honeysuckle aroma, with a hint of poached quince and mandarin peel. The wine is richly textural on the palate with classic grainy Viognier minerality complemented perfectly with ripe flavors of late season peaches and apricots. This is great drinking now and with careful cellaring this wine will continue to exhibit these generous Viognier flavors and textures for at least two to three years."

My review: I really liked this wine!  It was very light and had the aroma of tree fruits such as pear and apple and also some slight tropical fruit aromas.  The wine had some floral aftertastes and I could really taste the pear.  I overall thought that this wine was good and would definitely drink this again!

I drank this wine on its own with no food.
