Condrieu 2007

Condrieu is one of the rare great wines produced in France. The appellation is very small and it is the classic wine made from the Viognier grape, producing a hugely exotic, complex rainbow of delicious flavours. A touch of violets, power fruits of apricot, peach, nectarine, pineapple, acacia flowers, stewed fruit. Its texture is rich and silky, flavour unctous, sensuous and persistent.

Grape varieties: Viognier;

A small part of this wine was vinified in French oak barrels and then blended with wine vinified in stainless steel tanks-and what a fine marriage it is. The oaked wine, although barely discernable, has added width, intrige and complexity without compromising the exotic fruit and contributing a hint of vanilla and toasted brioche. [read on...]

Exotic fruits dominate the flavour of this award winning wine - peaches, nectarines, pears, lychees and some apricots laced with white flowers. Delicious, big, powerful and outstanding. [read on...]
