Star bright straw gold. Highly aromatic nose of quince and white flowers. Full palate of baked quince, white pepper, and honeysuckle. Relatively high (medium plus) acidity for a warm climate Viognier. Medium short finish. Flavorful and food friendly Virginia V that, despite its uncharacteristic acidity, represents the variety well. Enjoy with rich foods (pot pie, casserole) or roasted poultry.

Sep 12th, 2020Star bright yellow gold. Moderate nose of baked quince and white flowers. Echoed on the palate adding white pepper and birch. Medium full body. Medium plus(!) acidity. This is the second Virginia Viognier that I’ve had with somewhat elevated acidity. I’m beginning to wonder what’s up down there. Viognier should be fat and round, not lean and linear. That said it’s still a tasty wine that works very well with foods. Roast pork tenderloin or poultry will be particular friends.
