Description:

First Taste (Attack)
The opening is gentle and aromatic rather than bold. Soft notes of peach, nectarine, and orchard fruit arrive first, lifted by floral hints of honeysuckle and lily. The palate feels smooth and calm, with restrained sweetness.

Mid-Palate
With air, the wine gains dimension. Stonefruit deepens, subtle ginger spice appears, and a light pastry note adds warmth. Lees aging contributes a rounded, slightly oily texture that fills the mouth without feeling heavy.

Aftertaste (Finish)
Clean and softly lingering, the finish carries fruit, floral lift, and mild spice. Acidity is balanced and supportive, leaving the palate refreshed rather than sharp.

When to Drink & Why Air Matters
This Viognier benefits from gentle aeration — even 15–30 minutes open allows the aromatics to lift and the texture to feel more expressive. Without air, it can seem quiet; with time, it becomes more complete and harmonious.

What to Expect Overall
An elegant, subtle Viognier focused on texture and balance rather than intensity. Best enjoyed slowly, where its layered character has time to unfold.
