This Viognier is always a late pick to make sure we get full ripeness and that distinctive oily character that we love about this grape. The grapes are lightly pressed with the juicy skins going into our Broken Press Syrah ferments. Fermented and aged in 3 puncheons – 2 French and 1 Acacia wood for 9 months.
2023 growing season was generally cooler until a late summer heat spike accelerated ripening. Syrah and a small portion of Viognier were harvested on the same day.
Charcuterie, Dijon chicken, lamb tagine with apricot, butternut squash soup, korma curry, brown butter and sage gnocci, crab dip.
