Description
Pale gold with green highlights. The nose has intense aromas of early season just picked apricots, cardamom, white pepper and fresh ginger. Lifted ginger spice is layered on the palate with mineral sourdough like texture and complex apricot and almond savouriness. The trademark Viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine. It is complex while at the same time showing purity and restraint that will unwind slowly in the glass and take the imbiber on a sensory journey.
Food Pairing
At its best with food, The Virgilius complements a wide range of flavours, particularly dishes with spice and rich flavours. Try with beef rendang, pan fried herb mushrooms, or fresh gnocchi with olive oil and shaved truffles.
