Tasting-"Riebeek Cellars- Viognier"

Name: Riebeek Cellars 
Variety: Viognier
Year: 2015
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Price: $12


Vintage Cellar ReviewWashington Post "This is a luscious viognier, featuring a deep yellow color, that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one manages to keep its figure within bounds. I recommend this for immediate, lip-smacking enjoyment."

My Review: The color of the wine reminds me of a green apple, with a light yellow tent. I did not get much scent out of this wine, other than a grassy scent. This wine was very dry and bitter, which overwhelmed my palate. I was not as big of a fan of this wine.
