Element Gimblett Gravels Viognier 2015 $25 (4 stars)

I LOVE the nose of this wine – it seduced me right from the first sip with its exotic orange zest, jasmine, citrus oil and classic caramelised complexity.  It’s my favourite style, all rich, cuddly and luxuriously spicy and ready to morph into a meal in itself.  But if you insist on pairing it with some protein, you can’t go past a platter of paper thin prosciutto…
