2022 Viognier

You may recall, we first pursued Viognier for its beneficial effect in our Syrah program. As a result, the harvest date is delayed from what would otherwise be a ‘regular’ white viognier. Syrah typically ripens two to three weeks later. We only capture the Viognier skins for our Syrah ferments, so this super ripe Viognier is first gently squeezed and fermented in a French oak Foudre. What does this mean? Bringing Viognier to this level of ripeness and squeezing it only to about 70% of its potential yield means that the juice is certainly superior in its class!  The delicate handling of this grape simply makes this wine outstanding.
