Bilancia Hawke's Bay Viognier 2007

Discontinued end of line clearance;
A top boutique brand, long known as a pioneer with Viognier, Pinot Gris/Grigio, and of course with La Collina, one of NZ's top Syrah wines. To quote Tyson Stelzer, one of the top US wine writers;"There is a thread of elegance that connects Bilancia´s whites like a silken ribbon, elevating varieties not generally regarded for their subtlety to a quality plane hitherto unknown in New Zealand" Tyson Stelzer, April 2008

When we are offered small parcels of wine we often consult with Peter Saunders, long time wine critic, and author of 25 editions of A guide to New Zealand wine. His thoughts are "Three years of age and showing its best; a dry, full-flavoured wine; Viognier with strength, partly from an extra year and partly because this is from one of the top winemaking teams in the country. Very nice drinking"
