Tasting Notes: A powerful and rich Viognier showing all the characters of the 2020 vintage. The hot and long growing season has developed an expected high alcohol level, but this wine wears it properly and with distinction. 

Harvested from a very small parcel on our home vineyard, this rare varietal in Niagara continues to deliver a unique addition to our portfolio. We strive to preserve the exciting characteristics of this wine while adding texture by using only acacia wood barrels in its 18 month aging process. Acacia lifts Viogniers aromas without masking them. 

An abundance of tropical notes on the nose like mango and pineapple with also white flowers and a hint of poached pear. The palate is suave, and creamy but not oily, which I greatly appreciate. The aromas reflect perfectly the flavours with the addition of a lengthy and spicy finish showcasing white pepper and Chinese five-spice.  

Food Pairings: To complement the flavour profile of this wine, a fantastic food pairing option would be a Swiss cheese fondue.
