2023 Viognier, Wyldvin Vineyard
Morning fog from the Pacific Ocean tempers warm summer days, the Wyldvin Vineyard has a great balance of maritime and inland climates. Nestled among heritage oak and olive trees, this vineyard is over 30 years old. This Viognier is a classically fine-formed white that is aromatic and expressive.
TASTING NOTES
Crafted in the traditional Northern Rhône style, with a new world edge, this supple and balanced wine was aged in French-oak after being stainless-steel fermented. This lively white opens in a flourish of dried apricot, honey and passionfruit. On the palate crisp clean acidity is mingled with flavors of baked apple and notes of bergamot.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING
This wine is a great match for a variety of food pairings like chèvre, oysters, and is beautifully matched with any recipes featuring fresh herbs like tarragon or mint. This refreshing sauvignon blanc is also delicious on its own as an apéritif à la maison (aperitif at home).
