BOB'S BEST BUYS
Wine: Askerne 2022 Viognier, Hawke’s Bay $26.90
Why I chose it:
- One of the best examples of NZ Viognier I’ve tasted.
- Often blended with Syrah to give greater complexity and a silkier texture.
- Delicious wine from a challenging vintage.
What does it taste like?
- “Ripe, almost luscious wine with tree fruit/apricot/nectarine, vanilla and musk-like flavours underpinned by a core of sweet fruit that helps make the wine very accessible now.”
Why it’s a bargain:
- Aristocratic wine at a working-class price.
Where can you buy it?
- Wines of NZ $22.49 New Zealand
- First Glass Wines and Spirits, Auckland $22.99
- Advintage, Hawke’s Bay $23.99
- Vino Fino (NZ) Christchurch.
Food match?
- Apple Tart
Will it keep?
- Drink up
