Tasting- Riebeek Cellars Viognier

Name: Riebeek Cellars
Variety: Viognier
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa 
Year: 2015
Price: $12

Winery Review:  This is a luscious viognier, featuring a deep yellow color, that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one manages to keep its figure within bounds. I recommend this for immediate, lip-smacking enjoyment.    

My Review: This wine had a sweet scent with hints of peach, apricot, and lemon. It had a strong flavor, with a bad vinegary flavor at first. However, the after taste was much milder and not bad. Very crisp.
