Angove


Name: Angove
Variety: Viognier
Origin: Australia
Price: $15 ($5.95 Sale)

VC Review: "Bright light straw in colour with some green hues, this wine has a lush ripe tropical fruit aroma. This is a fuller bodied white which fills the mouth with heady flavours of apricot, peach and citrus.
Angove Nine Vines Viognier is perfect for today's relaxed life-style and is the ideal accompaniment to grilled prawns with chilli and garlic or roast pork."


My Review: Compared to the previous wine, the nose was a lot more overbearing - strong citrus and nectarine scent. The wine was also fuller-bodied than the last one and I'd describe the taste as refreshingly bitter. It was bitter in a kola nut sort of way. Could also taste peach/nectarine/lemon definitely. I ended up buying this bottle, as I felt it was the best value of the day. Very solid wine.
