Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Viognier from King Family opens with a fragrant apricot and peach bouquet with hints of lychee. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and creamy. The flavor profile is a chamomile tea and apricot blend with notes of chalky minerality and almond. I also detected a hint of orange zest in the finish. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity are nicely extended. I would pair this Viognier with Chinese orange chicken. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The wine opens on the nose with zesty citrus, honeysuckle, and white peach notes. A rounded attack and smooth mouthfeel bring these notes to the palate. The finish is bright and fresh. Aged in a combination of stainless steel, neutral French oak, acacia, and concrete.
