An experiment that readily embraces the next variable. 2020 Vior is the second chapter in a long forthcoming lineage. In its first year, Vior showed great promise as a stand apart white. 2020 elevates that profile with the integration of vapor bent oak barrels distinctly made for white wines. Our wine is 100% Viognier divided into two allocations before blending. The first parcel is skin macerated for 20 days in stainless steel. This technique adds mild tannin and structure to the wine making it vibrant in its youth and capable of aging. The second parcel is aged in new oak for 3 months with frequent lees stirring. This technique adds textural richness and harmonizes with the aromatic qualities inherent to the Viognier grape without overpowering them. The result is an aromatically expressive white with delightful complexity in its youth and quality to emerge after years in bottle.
