Tamboerskloof Viognier 2022

A light golden wine with aromas of tangerine, orange blossom and rose following through with peaches to the palate. The palate offers additional spices and apricot, along with texture which creates a lingering finish. A wine which shows restraint and focus from its acidity. The Tamboerskloof Viognier 2022 is a super versatile food-wine pairing wine and compliments anything from a perfumed Indian curry to a de Boerin olive oil-drenched caprese salad.
