2013 Viognier
The 2013 vintage of this vibrant wine exhibits an archetypal profile of apricot, nectarine, honeysuckle, lavender and citrus zest. On the palate, the wine has a classic Viognier mouth-feel, expressing an unctuous, round and mouth-filling texture balanced with just enough lively acidity to keep it fresh. We have achieved this balance by farming our cane-pruned vines with canes that are shorter than we had used in the past, and with shoot selection and leaf pulling designed to allow good sun exposure while maintaining some dappled shading to protect the grapes from extreme heat that might cause accelerated ripening and a loss of acid. Of course, the near perfect 2013 vintage didn’t hurt either! We are thrilled with the results, and know that you will be too.
