Description

Lovely straw colour with notes of peach and apricot on the nose unveiling various fruit layers. Rich butterscotch with nutty notes on the taste.The acidity of the Chardonnay balances out the aromatic characteristics of the Viognier. A perfectly, harmoniously balanced wine with oak, fruit and acidity - these adds to the mouthfeel and lingering after taste.

The Tourmaline was the Trophy winner at the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Competition in 2022 for the best white blend.
