We harvested our Viognier came September 7th, when we felt that the flavors were spot on and the acidity was right where it needed to be, allowing us to show that cool climate Viognier in California can have acidity and minerality as well as being an excellent food-wine. The grapes came in at 23.5 Brix with great acidity. We pressed off to tank, allowed the juice to settle for two days, then racked the juice to a new tank and commenced fermentation. Post fermentation we barreled down the wine to all stainless steel vessels. Color: Straw Yellow, Electric Nose: Orange Blossom, Citrus Fruit, Floral Pallet: Lychee, Melon, Lemon, persistent finish
