Seductive - Smooth - Silky. Barrel Fermented and golden with apricot and pear flavours shining through. Subtle hints of citrus add vibrancy and freshness.

Dancing Petrel Paewhenua Island Mangonui Northland Viognier 2019 (****½)
This youthful, softly mouthfilling wine was hand-harvested at a coastal vineyard in the Far North and barrel-aged.  Pale straw, it is powerful, with concentrated, ripe flavours of peaches and pears, biscuity notes adding complexity, balanced acidity and a dry, long finish.  Best drinking 2022.  Michael Cooper.
