In the mid-1980’s there was only 32 ha of Viognier in the whole world, almost all located in Condrieu, France and this varietal almost disappeared. Viognier is doing so well in Malibu due to the misty mornings, cool foggy nights, and constant cooling ocean breeze.
The nose is irresistible; Viognier is as aromatic as it is rare. Characteristic white flowers (orange blossom and acacia), heady notes blooming into honeysuckle, ripe peaches, and musk that wraps you in a cloud of real, dense Muscat nose.
On the palate the wine is surprisingly dry, fragrant, with fruity notes of apricot and mango. The finale is fresh, lemony, and long, due to the natural acidity of the Chardonnay. The mouthfeel is rich and full, but light and long.
“Blending wines resembles cooking. I imagine a wine by combining texture, aromas and flavors to balance each asset and please the five senses. A balance that won’t stand for inexactness!”
