Tasting Notes
This stainless steel–fermented Viognier is a dry, expressive white wine that celebrates the varietal’s signature aromatics with a hint of unexpected depth. Light to medium-bodied, it combines vibrant fruit and floral notes with a soft undercurrent of butterscotch, offering a fresh yet rounded drinking experience.
Aroma
Aromas of apricot, tangerine, and honeysuckle rise from the glass, creating a lifted and inviting bouquet. Beneath the bright top notes, a subtle hint of butterscotch adds warmth and dimension, giving the wine a soft richness without sacrificing freshness.
Palate
On the palate, this Viognier is silky and smooth, with flavors of juicy stone fruit, citrus peel, and delicate florals. A touch of butterscotch carries through mid-palate, offering a creamy nuance that balances the wine’s clean acidity. The finish is graceful and lingering, with a gentle, rounded texture.
Food Pairing
Perfect alongside aromatic or lightly spiced dishes such as coconut-lime chicken, Moroccan tagine, or grilled halibut with mango salsa. It also pairs beautifully with roasted root vegetables, fresh pasta with herbs, or soft cheeses like brie and chèvre.
Aging Potential
This Viognier is meant to be enjoyed young while its floral and fruit notes are at their peak. That said, its layered profile and slight richness give it the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 2–3 years.
