The Story
In 2018 we played around with making a slightly leaner Viognier. The goal was to have something a little lighter and crisper that would work well served as chilled as you’d like for these hot Texas days. In this vintage we opted to use Semillon as a blender, which adds some texture to the mouthfeel as well as some complexity to the already floral Viognier.
