A fitting partner for the Bosworth reds which was mainly fermented in stainless steel to preserve the fresh aromas of citrus fruits and its tight acidity and structure. The Viognier (15% of the blend), true to its variety, required longer on the vine for the grapes to reach full flavour, ripeness and texture, and was fermented in older French barriques. Blending Viognier with Chardonnay works on several fronts. As well as lending terrific aromas and textural characters, the Viognier adds a tropical note to the wine, with hints of fruit blossom and custard apple. The Chardonnay brings grapefruit and white stone fruit flavours. With a citrus palate, medium weight and a long fresh finish, it's tight without being austere. Screwcap closure
