THREE THIRTY THREE · GRAHAM GOOCH · 333 AT LORD'S · LANGUEDOC VIOGNIER
A beautifully expressive Viognier from Domaine Saint Hilaire in the Languedoc, created with Graham Gooch and carrying the same Three Thirty Three story as the red — a celebration of his extraordinary 333 at Lord's against India in 1990. The wine itself is rich and aromatic, with ripe peach, apricot and pear alongside delicate floral notes and a touch of citrus. A rounded, silky texture gives it plenty of weight, while refreshing acidity keeps the palate bright and balanced. A serious southern French white with the generosity and character Viognier does so well, wrapped in one of English cricket's most memorable stories.
A rich, aromatic Viognier celebrating Graham Gooch's legendary 333 — elegant, textured and beautifully expressive.

“A gorgeous white — really aromatic and full of peach and apricot, but with enough freshness to stop it becoming heavy. I love the 333 story behind it too. It makes a great bottle for an England cricket day, particularly when you want something a little different from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.” - Rich A
