2021 Viognier
Heady aromas of ripe peach, lemon blossom, yellow plum, wisteria and orange blossom entice the senses. On the palate, exhilarating acidity offsets the decadent opulence that is characteristic of this incomparable grape variety. The push-and-pull between satisfaction and longing makes it hard to resist a second sip!
The warm, dry 2021 growing season ripened our viognier grapes to perfection with harvest taking place the first week of September. Our cool afternoons impart a gorgeous acidity to the wine along with exuberant aromatics. Once the viognier grapes arrive at the winery, we are both gentle and careful to the extreme in every step of the winemaking process, beginning with a six-hour press cycle that coaxes juice from the berries without the need for a firm squeeze.
