Falconhead Viognier 2024
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS - "Nice weight and intensity."
Delightful, sharply priced Hawke's Bay Viognier from the winemaking team behind the Morton Estate juggernaut before that brand was sold to international buyers.
Floral, lightly textural and with some obvious oak influence, this very appealing wine is vinted in the classic regional viognier style. The previous vintage enjoyed five star reviews and a Cuisine Magazine 'Best Buy' nomination, and we expect this new vintage to follow suit. A brilliant chardonnay alternative.

Tasting Notes
The winery writes "Perfumed aromas of white peach and subtle turkish delight. The palate displays delicious pear and tangerine flavours supported by deft lychee and spice complimented with a gentle sweetness."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Fragrant and true to the varietal signature of spice and apricot, a distinctive minerality and exotic quality. Nice weight and intensity with a spice laden satin-cream texture with contrasting acidity and core fruit flavours of yellow stone fruits and apple, spice and exotic appeal. No oak obvious though there could be some older barrel in the mix."
