Moderate summer temperatures delayed ripening while maintaining acidity, and a sunny, dry fall ensured optimal phenolic maturation, highlighting Viognier's aromatics with moderate alcohol—cool climate perfection. Vineyard batches were pressed separately and blended to ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel, preserving the fragrant primary aromas. The juice was fermented with a yeast strain from Viognier's birthplace, Côtes duRhône, to enhance its classic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat varietal character and mouthfeel, with a fragrant bouquet of jasmine, honeysuckle, and citrus zest.
