Potent, powerful, supple.
If you love potent Viogniers, then step right up!
The 2019 comes from the Perfect Hedge Vineyard in Osoyoos and BullPine vineyard an hour south of the Naramata Bench winery. The Bullpine is hotter and provides the extra heat units that Viognier requires to ripen fully. The sites are harvested separately to maintain the perfect balance between rupees and acidity.
Peach compote and mango, ginger and brown spice aromas commingle with teething biscuits, honey and vanilla. The palate is powerful and exotic - spice, citrus and stone fruit flavours dominate. Supple, balanced and lengthy, this is an outstanding representation of the variety.
Keep in mind, it’s a doozy at 14.9% alcohol.
