<H1>2008 Viognier -- Jaffurs Wine Cellars Shopping Cart</H1> $25.00 <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/jaffurs/images/08%20Vio.jpg" ALIGN=right ALT="2008 Viognier" NAME="2008 Viognier" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> The 2008 Viognier, Santa Barbara County has our classic full mouth feel and a clean, lingering finish. Continuing our string of great Viognier vintages, this wine has great acidity and correct varietal aromatics. It combines the fruit from two vineyards: Stolpman Vineyard fruit (25%) provided a lighter, floral-peach, mineral element to the wine. Bien Nacido Vineyard fruit (75%) adds body, glycerin, acid, and a burst of tropical and peach aromas. It was fermented in neutral, French barrels. (874 cases produced) • Bien Nacido fruit harvested October 1 and 2, 24.2 Brix sugar, 3.1 pH • Stolpman fruit harvested September 28, 24.6 Brix sugar, 3.3 pH • Whole cluster pressed • Cold settled before barreling and inoculation • Assmanhausen and Prise de Mousse yeast used • Half this wine completed ML fermentation in February • Neutral French oak barrels used • Wine remained on lees until finishing • Lightly filtered, fined with non-fat milk • Bottled May 8, 2009 • Released July 1, 2009 Food Pairing: Typically lighter fare: non-meat appetizers or entrees, egg-rolls, fish or chicken. This wine pairs well with seafood such as lobster, salmon, mahi-mahi, or shellfish. Scallops and Ahi are favorites. I prefer Viognier paired with clean flavors, fruitful sauces, and light spicing. I don’t recommend it with highly spiced or powerfully flavored or peppered foods. Try crab cakes or corn chowder for something wonderful and different. <LI>SKU: 2008 Viognier (bot) Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/jaffurs/Category2" TITLE="Current Vintage Wines">Current Vintage Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jaffurs/Product120 TITLE="2007 Syrah, Upslope">2007 Syrah, Upslope</A> -- Our Best Syrah ! 94 WS, 92+ IWC <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/jaffurs/Product121 TITLE="2007 Syrah, Ampelos Vineyard">2007 Syrah, Ampelos Vineyard</A> -- Biodynamic grapes from Sta.
