Cline Cellars North Coast Viognier 2021

Cline Cellars North Coast Viognier 2021 California, USA

Viognier is a tricky grape to grow in that it buds out early and is susceptible to frost. Also, it's thick skins require patience to get the full flavour potential of the grape. The vines basked in the sun during the day and were cooled at night which contributes to this Viognier's full-body weight and nice acidity. The grapes were handpicked and de-stemmed without being crushed then immediately pumped to the tank press where the juice was gently squeezed from the grapes. Juice was pumped to a stainless steel fermenting tank and the wine was chilled and settled overnight. The juice was then racked off the grape solids and inoculated with a pure strain of wine yeast. Fermentation proceeded at a cool 50 degrees F to preserve the lovely fruit character and kept in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.

Wonderfully fragrant with notes of stone fruits, jasmine and honeysuckle. The palate follow through with a richness of fruit including ripe peach and apricot. The finish is given finesse by the refreshing acidity. Pairs well with Gruyere or Camembert cheese, sushi, or tarragon chicken.
