James Hickey Estates Cellar Reserve Botrytis Viognier 2013

Surprisingly Lush & Superb...Save a Small Fortune vs Similar Quality Sauternes.

I was really surprised that such a lush & superb "sauternes look-alike" could be found in the Hilltops region of NSW. A trophy-winning wine that likewise impressed a group of wine-savvy drinkers on the day, including a Hunter Valley winery owner! Very long palate, with rich sweetness and excellent balancing acidity to obliterate any sense of cloying, leaving a lovely and long silky wisp of a finish. A great dessert wine on its own and robust enough to stand up to just about any dessert - would be heaven with a pear tart, for example. Save a small fortune vs similar quality sauternes. Tried this in June 2022 and there's plenty of room for it to go and go and go.
