Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The first aromas remind us of a spring garden with ripe peaches, apricot and orange blossoms. The color and clarify of this wine is like looking at a fine diamond - it just sparkles. This wine rolls around the glass and is simply lovely to drink. That first sip is full of citrus - like pink grapefruit or Meyer lemon. It also displays subtle white pepper notes like wines from the tiny region it is native to - Condrieu. You'll notice a lovely crisp finish, with just a hint of honey. This is an all-season white wine that is ready to drink now.
It is full of peach skin and apricot.
Vineyard Notes
Deirdre Dalton carries on the tradition of her father and is producing amazing fruit. The fruit for this vintage was small making this a very exclusive wine.
Production Notes
This varietal is cold fermented at 55F. The wine is aged for up to a year before being bottled right here in Calaveras County about 1/2 mile from our Tasting Room.
Winemaker Notes
Our Viognier is barrel aged in neutral oak for 6 months to highlight the floral and tropical nature of the fruit while also adding body and texture to the wine.
Food Pairing Notes
Viognier is a full bodied white wine that will hold its own with a meal. It pairs nicely with roast chicken, a salad nicoise, grilled salmon or pasta alfredo.
