Visual Review
A delightful white wine that seems to have captured a golden sunset in a bottle. Its pretty transparent intensity and gold hue shine with a clarity that’s clear and brilliant.
Aroma Review
On the nose, it doesn’t disappoint either. The aroma is moderately strong with a good nose quality, offering some variety that’s both intriguing and inviting.
Hints of jasmine flirt with your senses, accompanied by a bit of lemon, melon, and even a touch of bread. Dig a little deeper, and you’ll find whispers of apricot, peach, yellow apple, and lychee—it’s like a fruit market decided to throw a party in your glass.
Taste Review
Taking a sip, the high acidity gives it a lively zest, balanced perfectly with a medium body and medium warmth from the alcohol. Its light viscosity and dry sweetness (technically off-dry) make it refreshingly crisp without being overpowering. Flavor-wise, it’s distinctly flavorful, with a complex medley that keeps your palate pleasantly engaged.
The balance here is excellent, this Indian Viognier finishes off with a moderately long and pleasant farewell, leaving you contemplating whether it’s too early to pour another glass. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
Sipping this Dindori Viognier is very enjoyable, and with an above-average aging potential, this wine is not just a fleeting fancy. But hey, don’t just take my word for it—give it a try and let it charm you firsthand.
