2017 Viognier
Winemaker Notes:
On the nose their are tropical aromas of pineapple and ripe mango, with hints of honey and rose petals. This medium-bodied wine is well-balanced showing roundness and softness, followed by a crisp mineral finish.
Vineyard Notes:
Viognier is a white grape believed to have originated in present day Croatia before making its way to the Rhone region of France. Viognier can be found as a stand-alone wine or often blended with Marsanne and Roussane. Our Viognier comes from the "Campo dos Robles" (Field of two oaks) Vineyard, located at Campovida. The CCOF Certified vineyard is located in the town of Hopland along the banks of the upper Russian River. The site's river-bed gravelly loam soil provides an ideal site for growing world-class Rhone white wines.
