Church Road Grand Reserve Viognier

Formerly known as Church Road’s Reserve range they’ve given the wines a slick, stealth like black label and slapped the word "Grand" in the name.

So that’s the marketing job done, what about the wine? Are they actually Grand? Are they what! These are sheer world class wines, up there with the best you’ll find in Hawke’s Bay. That’s why you’ll only find Church Road wines under this label released in exceptional vintages from low-cropping vineyard blocks (to ensure more concentrated, ripe flavours), hand-harvested and produced using small batch, traditional techniques.

So what do you get when you combine the very best fruit from the best vineyards of one of Hawke’s Bay’s kingpin producers?…

Released three years after harvest this is a rich, weighty white full of creamy, peachy, apricot flavours. If you’re looking for the perfect food match we reckon try white meat and fish dishes in big, rich (and preferably creamy) sauces!
