Nose
The nose displays peach, honey suckle, and apricot notes.
Palate
The stone fruit notes from the bouquet are also present on the palate. We produced 5 barrels with one new barrel and 4 once used barrels. The wine has a great mouth feel and nice balance.
Harvest
Crop yields in 2016 were relatively light (about 2.5 tons on the one acre section we get) and we were only able to produce 130 cases.
Winemaking
Our Viognier is made in a clean style with very little new oak. The barrel fermentation is more directed at texture development than at a flavor profile. The key to making great Viognier is having a top site and timing the harvest correctly. Viognier has a narrow window for harvest where the flavors are developed and the acidity is still vibrant.
