Stormhoek Chardonnay Viognier 2008

Variety: Chardonnay x Viognier
Country of origin: South Africa
Wine appellation: Western Cape
Vintage: 2008
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: quite intense, tropical tones, citruses, hint of orange and apricot
Taste: medium to full body, zesty, pineapple, pomegranate, grapefruit
Recommended food pairing: seafood, salads, fish
Overall score: 82

This wine is made to drink young to refresh you in very hot day. I would recommend to chill it to 7 to 8 °C as there is slightly higher alcohol. The chilling would not hurt the bouquet as it is quite strong anyway.
