Laithwaites Wine - Gran Tarapacá Viognier

Description
Every time our Buyers return from a trip to Chile, they rave about Tarapacá! Situated in the Maipo Valley, just below the Andes, the historic estate (founded in 1874) is not only breathtakingly beautiful but is surrounded by vineyards which benefit from ideal grape-growing conditions. Cool breezes and abundant sunshine infuses the grapes with aromatic freshness and a full, ripe flavour.

Viña Tarapacá uses state-of-the-art equipment, together with traditional, quality-driven techniques to keep all the pure flavours of their refreshing Viognier intact - from vine to glass!

Elegant and vibrant - this delicious white is bursting with personality! Abundant peach, apricot and honey-blossom flavours are complimented by subtle marzipan notes. Fantastic on its own or with roast chicken or fish dishes.

A very very nice wine - very aromatic, with fresh and fruity notes as well as a hint of "perfume" (for lack of a better word). Extremely well balanced on the palate - starts out smooth and round with hints of peach and honey, then develops a lingering freshness that makes it eminently drinkable. Would work very well on its own, but it's also a fantastic partner to fish. ***** - Mr P Avgustinov, - 30/07/2008 20:02:57
