David Akiyoshi Viognier Clarksburg 2015
About the wine
David's searched Clarksburg to find the richest and most delicious Viognier just for you
- Clarksburg is up-and-coming. That means there's great wine and it's getting even greater. But it also means you need a regional expert to help find the best grapes, and that's where David comes in.
- David is the master of Clarksburg and knows where to find the best vineyards in the area, which lets him sort the good from the bad. Angel funding has given David the help he needs to get the best parcels of Viognier to you.
- David's Viognier captures the sunniest aspects of California, with bright citrus, pear and apricot flavours and a touch of honey to boot - great with anything from BBQ chicken to potato salad and coleslaw. PLUS this vintage has just picked up a medal at this year's IWC awards.
