100% Viognier
The Viognier fruit is sourced from Saint Marcel d'Ardeche, 45 miles northwest of Avignon where the soils are predominately rift boulders of limestone over granite. From 28 year old vines. A 10 day fermentation at 45°F, entirely with maceration pelliculaire (long skin contact). De-stemmed bunches are pressed lightly with a partial malolactic fermentation. One sniff of this, and you'll know you're dealing with a Viognier! It offers great quantities of the expected white stone fruit aromas, but also has orange sherbet flavors with a touch of tropical fruit on the finish. Absolutely fresh and lively.
