The flavors in the mouth mirror the aromas with apricots and peaches, slight reduction, and minerality. The mouthfeel is seamless, fresh, and rich.
Fermentation:
7.49 tons (from 2.2 acres of Viognier) was hand harvested from September 25th and 27th. All the grapes were destemmed and gently pressed. The juice was fermented with Saccharomyces uvarum to dryness in large-format French Oak barrels. The Viognier did not go through the malo-lactic fermentation.
Élevage:
100% used French Oak in 300 L and 500 L barrels for five months before filtration and bottling.
Additions: Viognier grapes, organic yeast, organic yeast nutrients, bentonite for heat stability and clarity, and 20 mg/liter of Free SO2 at bottling.
