What a gem this Sonhoek Chardonnay Viognier from South Africa is! Upon pouring, we immediately see the Chardonnay influences. The color is straw yellow with a beautiful golden sheen. A lovely, mild wine with aromas of tropical fruit, peaches, and mango. The palate is soft and refined, with the tropical fruit influences combined with the mango and peach nuances. The finish is smooth and mild. A lovely, mildly dry wine with pleasant depth.
The Sonhoek series certainly lives up to its name! These wines come from a very sunny background. It's no wonder we've been carrying them in our collection for years. This series is also a popular house wine in hospitality settings. Many restaurants and bars serve this wine with the finest dishes. This Sonhoek Chardonnay Viognier is highly recommended for dishes like fried fish or a salad nicoise!
