2008 Viognier

Winemaking Notes
The fruit for our 2008 Viognier was harvested between September 3rd and 7th. The majority of fruit came from our own Estate Vineyards and averaged 27.5 Brix at harvest. The juice was cold fermented in Stainless Steel to retain the unique fruit characteristics of Viognier.

Tasting Notes

Pears, Apples and Melon flavors are accompanied by a rich mouth feel, nice acid balance and a clean finish. The 2008 Viognier is medium straw in color with aromas of Peach, Apricot and hints of flinty citrus.

We are happy to announce that the 2008 Viognier is sealed with a Stelvin Lux Screw Cap. The Stelvin Lux is a top of the line enclosure that gives the appearance of a bottle with a cork finish, but with screw cap ease. Just twist it off.
