Complex buttery/creamy/rich star of a wine. It is difficult to describe just how good this wine is in words (without waving my arms about & ranting & raving). It has phenomenal length of flavour, it just goes on & on..(bit like me in this case).

Grapefruit and a bit of honeysuckle from the Semillon.

" Neil Pike has made the most of the cracking vintage and bundled spectacular fruit intensity and grip into this wine. The finish is white-knuckle dry and the mid-palate bites back every time you think it is relaxing into lushness. A top wine and one that will last a decade or more." Matthew Jukes

On the nose, peaches and apricots abound as is so characteristic of Viognier. The luscious fruit continues on the palate, with very subtle oak and goes on to a deliciously lingering finish.

A clever blend of Pinot Grigio for lightness, Semillon for body & Sauvignon Blanc for aromatics & zing. (Luccio means Pike in Italian apparently!)

Complex, enticing, fresh, spicy, barrel fermented.

"Quite a deep burnished gold. Gorgeously toasty new oak nose. The fruit is powerful but there's a lovely pure quality to it. On the palate more of the same with rich, buttery full-on oaked-Chardonnay flavours but it has balance and packs a lot of punch. Could easily be a £15 Chardonnay. Excellent."

This is Viognier bursting with a stereotypical Aussie fruitiness. Quite some distance away in style from Rhone-style Viognier from France. When you get tired of the Chardonnay phenomenon give this a shot. It is a fresh, deliciously drinkable wine with no woody-flavours at all.
