Briar Ridge Limited Release Viognier 2025, Wrattonbully
Viognier is a food wine. Just like your best friend, it is bursting with personality, super loyal, and sometimes a little hard to handle in those tricky situations. So just add food.
Bright straw gold. Expressive aromas of ripe peach, mandarin and grapefruit are lifted by honeysuckle, pink guava and fresh citrus blossom, with gentle vanilla and spice.
Full-bodied and richly textured. Concentrated peach and citrus flavours flow across a generous mid-palate. Honeysuckle and subtle French oak add depth, savoury complexity and a rich creamy character, while crisp acidity keeps the wine fresh and mouth-watering. It has a dry stony edge, with the fruit remaining vibrant and citrus at the fore. The finish shows mandarin, citrus peel and subtle spice.
Amazing with a Thai mango salad or fresh Korean oysters.
Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★ A standout Viognier with concentrated stone fruit, fragrant honeysuckle and savoury French oak, balanced by acidity and length.
