Aged in both stainless steel and neutral oak, the aromas and flavors of this delicate and understated Viognier are laced with honeysuckle and nectarine, with hints of finely layered honey and tangerine citrus.
Grown at the La Presa Vineyard in mostly clay and sandy loam soils, this wine was crafted by fellow winemaker and friend, Eric Chamerat. Aged for 18 months in stainless steel, it offers complex, mouth-filling layers of passion fruit, white peach & gooseberry.
This blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne offers bright, floral aromatics on the nose. White peach, honeysuckle, and ripe pear flavors explode with zingy acidity on the palate. Notes of orange cream, melon and a subtle hint of sweet oak follow with a lingering finish. Each component wine was fermented separately in neutral French Oak barrels and aged on lees for 18 months before blending and bottling.
An aroma of fruity and complex floral notes give way to white fruit and tropical flavors, including pineapple, mango and a hint of passion fruit. Integrated acidity creates a juicy yet silky and elegant mouthfeel, with a hint of ocean spray and great minerality on the lingering finish. Aged in Neutral French Oak, where it remained on the lees for 30 months for a true Rias Baixas-style wine.
