The aroma features white peach, apricot, and lilac, creating a delightful floral bouquet. On the palate, you’ll find tropical fruit, sweet citrus, and honeycomb, with a subtle hazelnut flavor lingering in the finish. This wine is beautifully balanced, harmonizing fruit and acidity, with a slight phenolic finish that is characteristic of this varietal blend.
The 2022 Vintage
2022 was a beautiful year that consisted of a cool spring and summer ending with a heat spike in August to finish ripening the fruit. We had a much later harvest than normal but the long growing cycle allowed us to produce some exceptional fruit!
Alder Springs Vineyard
The Viognier and Roussanne from Alder Springs Vineyard reached ripeness simultaneously, allowing us to press the fruit together and co-ferment it for enhanced complexity and depth of flavor. During the blending process, we incorporated the estate Picpoul to elevate the acidity in the final blend.
