Barrel Size 225L, 500L
Production Details The grapes were picked and whole bunch pressed, slowly extracting the juice at a rate of 550 liters per ton. The juice was settled for 48 hours and was racked into Burgundian barrels (225 and 500 litre, 25% new) for fermentation and 15 months maturation. Balance is the key to this wine. Viognier is an aromatic and generous varietal, it benefits from barrel maturation and lees contact with a fuller mouth feel and increased texture. This combined with the firm acid backbone and intense fruit will allow this wine to integrate beautifully and gain further complexity over the next 3-5 years.
