2008 Viognier

Retail price ~ $19

A cooling alternate French varietal, our Viognier will refresh you with nectarine, passionfruit, lime, grapefruit, and honeysuckle, finishing clean with stone and rose. This vintage has a wonderful power in its flavors, while balanced and bright. Get sipping and be transported out of the city and into the meadow.

First the Viognier grapes were crushed and the juice allowed a few hours of skin contact. Like the 2007 Viognier, the 2008 was fermented in-tank at a cool temperature. We then stirred it on its lees for a few weeks to extract extra aromas to give the wine its prolonged finish. It was then simply rested and bottled. Its flavors present in a sequence of fruits and flowers, and linger like a reminder of a summer evening. (282 cases made)
