2025 Viognier

The 2023 Viognier is a lovely take on the varietal as the wine sees stainless steel drums during élevage. Aromas of white peach, bosc pear, and honeysuckle burst from the glass. The palate is rich yet balanced with flavors of apricot clafoutis and kaffir lime complimented by wonderful acids from the cool vintage.

The hand-picked Viognier was carefully night harvested when the fruit reached maturity, offering distinct varietal flavors and wonderful acidity. The grapes were delivered to Punchdown Cellars on the morning of September 10, 2022. The grapes were crushed through rollers adding to the phenolic complexity and then whole cluster pressed. The Viognier juice settled for 2 days in a chilled stainless-steel tank and then went through a cool fermentation. Midway through fermentation the wine was transferred to 75-gallon stainless-steel drums where it finished fermentation and aged for 6 months.
