The nose exhibits beautiful stone fruit aromas along with tropical notes of pineapple and coconut. The first impression on the palate is citrus with subtleties of vanilla, followed by lychee fruit, and caramelized apple. Feel free to let this wine breathe a little serve around 45-50 degrees. Our 2015 Whitehawk Viognier should drink great for the next 3-5 years.
