Composition: 90% Viognier, 10% Petit Manseng
Aging: Fermented & Aged in Stainless Steel
Vineyards: Shenandoah Springs, Shenandoah Ridge, & Sunset Hills Vineyards
Winemaker's Notes: This is a complex and fruit-forward wine made in the style of Condrieu. Made without malolactic fermentation and oak aging to preserve the natural acidity and varietal characteristics. The addition of 10% Petit Manseng enhances the fruit impact of the wine as well as contributes a small amount of sweetness.
Impressions: Our 2023 Viognier has intense characters of peach and tropical fruit with regional Viognier characters of white pepper, lime, and grass. The palate is clean and focused with a slight amount of sweetness. The addition of Petit Manseng contributes a nuance of concentrated tropical fruit and nectar aromas and flavor.
