Robertson Winery Viognier 2012

Variety: Viognier
Country of origin: South Africa
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol content: 14.5%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: expressive, orange tree blossom, hint of apricot, vanilla, spices
Taste: medium to full body, orange crust, nuts, dry, vanilla, spices, hint of cinnamon, tannins, longer finish
Overall score: 4+8+11+7+7 = 87
Price: CZK 159
Stopper: screw cap
The nose is amazing, flowers, oranges, wood, spices. The taste is quite dry and tannic, slightly missing the mid profile, but following nicely in the finish. For me this is the discovery of the month, moreover for amazing price with vintage sold that is nicely at the point of start of the bottle maturity and not overly young as is the common case. I will get a 6 case for sure.
