Viognier 2022
The small row of gnarled old vines stood alone, seemingly frozen in time. The young man walked down the row, carefully pruning each vine and selecting a few new cuttings to plant. “You will survive,” he thought, “I will be sure of it.”

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Aromas of cling peach and honeysuckle show the nobility of the terroir and careful tending of the vines. On the palate, delicate flavors of mango are enveloped by a wave of tangerine.
Winemaker Notes
By 1965 there were only eight acres of Viognier vines in the world, all in the Northern Rhône Valley of France. Thankfully, a few dedicated winemakers realized the greatness of the variety and went to great lengths to save it. When tasting this fantastic wine, all of which was produced from grapes harvested exclusively from Europa Village Estate Vineyards, you are glad the vine was saved from oblivion.
Food Pairing Notes
Excellent with a variety of dishes, but absolutely heavenly with poached salmon.
