Asda Viognier French White

£3.92 12.5% White 3/5

I usually buy the cheap Asda Soave but thought I’d give this a try for a change. It’s a 2006 vin de pay d’Oc according to the label.

It was OK. Apparently, it has apricot overtones and goes well with chicken liver pate.

Drink it with or without food. I wouldn’t swap it for my Soave on a regular basis, but it was alright for a change.
