Nose
The nose has pretty tones of white peach, jasmine, and apricot.
Palate
On the palate the crisp acidity of the finish is a perfect balance to the pretty fruit.
Growing Conditions
2015 was a cooler year with foggy conditions throughout the spring. As a result crop set was very light and we were only able to produce 88 cases.
Winemaking
Our Viognier is made in a fresher 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 where the flavors are developed and the acidity is still vibrant.
Aging
23% new French oak. Ermitage 11 months in barrel.
