Details
Kit Stevens MW (Master of Wine) calls Viognier the Viagra of the vineyard for the new millennium. The variety has become increasingly popular in Australia since the late 1990’s as a result of its recently discovered attributes, in particular its apricot, peach and blossom characters.
In its youth d’Arenberg’s The Last Ditch Viognier has a brilliant mid straw colour with lifted nectarine, white peach and apricot dominated aromas, as well as enveloping rose, ginger and fruit blossoms.
These also dominate the young palate where thick and viscous fruit showing rose, nectarine and white peaches develop into an unctuous long lasting palate showing ginger and spices. A very complex wine, offering a huge spectrum of flavours.
After some bottle ageing d’Arenberg’s The Last Ditch Viognier should develop in colour to a richer bright gold.
Serve with a large range of foods from lightly flavoured, through to full flavoured poultry, veal, lamb and pork as well as desserts and cheeses. Also good as an aperitif.
