Boekenhoutskloof Wolftrap White 2010

Viognier is an impressive grape to be sure. At home in the sunny environs of the Rhone Valley of France, Viognier can easily play for the title of making some of the world's richest and most powerful white wines. There is nothing shy about Viognier, and what this grape sometimes lacks in acid backbone it can more than make up for in heady floral aromas, intense peach and orange citrus fruit tones, an unparalleled viscosity on the palate, and a very friendly relationship with toasty French oak treatment.

Expert Review

92 Points - Wine Spectator Insider, 3/20/13
Gorgeous, offering clementine, tangerine and singed Brazil nut notes allied to a creamy frame. The long finish lets orange blossom,
white ginger and warm brioche hints fill in. Should develop breadth and length in the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2019.—J.M.
