Description
From Mendocino to Lake County to the Sonoma Coast -eight wonderful Viognier vineyards provide grapes for this blend. All achieve ideal ripeness and we harvest at the peak of bright flavor. Viognier is a tricky grape to grow in that it buds out early and is susceptible to frost. Also, it’s thick skins require patience to get the full flavor potential of the grape. The vines basked in the sun during the day and are cooled at night which contributes to this Viognier’s full-body weight and nice acidity. Fermented in stainless steel, it was kept at a cool temperature to preserve it's lovely fruit character.
