Reserve Viognier, 2020
Shipped and sold by Backyard Vineyards
This vibrant wine is bursting with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with added layers of tangerine and rose petal. Fermented entirely in neutral French oak barrels and aged on the lees for 9 months before final blending and bottling. Our Reserve Viognier has a strong palate texture, and a bitter citrus on the finish.
The 2019 vintage was a featured wine in July's Wine Club package, 2022.
