Viognier
MED-BODIED, DRY, PEACH, SPICED PEAR, HONEYSUCKLE, ROSE, GINGER, USED OAK
With beautiful floral aromatics, ripe stone fruit flavors, and a creamy palate that’s lifted by a whiff of fresh acidity, it’s not hard to see why this complex, elegant — and yes, completely dry — 100% Viognier has earned itself somewhat of a cult following (just trust us on this one; we know Viognier can be divisive).
Grapes are picked slightly early for maximum freshness; the wine is naturally fermented and matured on the lees in 300L old French oak barrels for 9 months.

Available in various editions labeled with different numbers. The blend may vary every year.
Producer tasting notes: "After observing how larger aging vessels drove our red wines toward the reductive pathway in 2014 and 2015, we thought to increase that expression in our whites by increasing our fermentation volume or reducing the available oxygen. We were pleasantly surprised with how well this worked. Sauvignon Blanc can be an incredibly aromatic varietal and some subtle notes of reduction give it great depth and intrigue. This has now become our standard practice for Sauvignon Blanc and provides a roadmap for playing with other varietals." - Ovid Wines
