Kaesler Love Child Viognier 2023

White peach, honeydew melon and feijoa skin. Creamed honey, mascarpone and whey. River stone and lemongrass. Fresh apricot skin, honeysuckle and agave syrup. The wine takes a turn down a dry lane way and finishes crunchy with a touch of skin phenolics. The fleshy character of Viognier remains with a grapeseed oiliness that plays well into food pairings. Acidity feels accurate without being forced. This is a friendly amiable Viognier for an array of palates. Drink now. Serve with roasted chicken and a cauliflower bake on the side.
