<p><font color="#800000"><strong>VARIETAL</strong></font>: A warm weather vine, Viognier was grown for centuries in the northern Rhone region of France. Today Viognier enjoys major plantings in France's Condrieu and Languedoc appellations as well as prestigious appellations in Northern California. Viognier is typified by a distinct perfume of apricots, peaches and blossom.</p>
<p><font color="#800000"><strong>VINIFICATION:</strong></font> Viognier needs to be handled with care during the winemaking process, from start to finish. The delicate floral juice of Viognier is surrounded by an astringent skin, which can cause the wine to be bitter. We whole berry press and use only the free run juice to preserve the wine's beautiful delicacy. Cold fermentation in stainless steel tank maintains the delicate flavors during fermentation. In this vintage, 15% of our Viognier went through barrel fermentation in French oak to add body and mouthfeel to the final blend. The wine was bottled in February of 2009.</p>
