2021 Viognier Port

The grapes for the 2021 Viognier Port  were  sourced from old and established Dry Creek Valley vineyard  with very small berries and clusters providing great concentration of aromas and flavors .The grapes were hand-picked early in the morning at the lowest temperature possible. We pressed the fruit directly without destemming for preserving more of the delicate aromas.  The entire lot was tank fermented at low temperature to preserve the delicate Viognier aromas and maximize the fruit expression of the grapes. Natural grape brandy was added at precise time to stop the fermentation. Our 2021 Viognier Port has a typical for the variety and the style floral aromas, peaches, apricots, and honeysuckle. Delicious now it will age well for many years thanks to high sugar and alcohol content. Traditionally the wine is consumed chilled by itself or used in cocktails and sangrias. Pair with hard cheese, nuts, stone fruit, sushi, or pate.
