Smith & Wilson Lighthouse Viognier 2007 Review
Winemaker’s Notes:
Transparent pale lemon white wine with a nose suggesting light florals and sweet apples. Our Lighthouse is an easy drinking dry white with a long clean finish. Lighthouse Viognier bathes your tastebuds with the aromas of sweet apples and pears followed by a suggestion of honey.
Try it with hummus or emmental cheese. It marries well with chicken in a ginger and orange sauce served with basmati rice. It is also a natural with Thai coconut based curries or spicy Indian curries.
Price: 750 mL $12
Food pairing:
The highly aromatic and fruit forward nature of the grape allows Viognier to pair well with spicy foods such as Thai cuisine or Vietnamese cuisine. The subtle floral notes in some wines made of viognier and vinified without the use of oak barrels tend towards the ones found in saké, thus making it a perfect match with sushi and sashimi. Viognier pairs equally well with many outspoken (French) cheeses.

I always like surprises and especially around Christmas time. What a nice surprise Smith & Wilson’s Lighthouse Viognier 2007 turned ou to be.
This is a very nice white wine with a bold floral nose that reminded me of the smell of fresh garden flowers after a short spring rain shower. There is also a hint of peaches. The first taste on the palate is the peaches and honeysuckle.
This is a dry white wine, it is a very easy drinking wine that will pair with any spicy foods or Asian dinner.
Enjoy this one. Recommended.
