Viognier “Westerly Vineyard”

Viognier “Westerly Vineyard” Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: The Nadeau Family Vintners' 2003 Viognier Central Coast is an amazing white wine. It is 100% Viognier and is a great follow-up vintage to the 2002 Viognier which was so spectacular. Viognier is one of the less pronounceable Rhone varieties and is the one which has become a favorite white wine for many American consumers who've grown bored with Chardonnay. These grapes were whole-cluster pressed using a pneumatic bladder press, cold-settled, inoculated with yeast and barrel fermented in a chilled Stainless Steel tank. The resulting wine was aged sur-lie, then barrels down to new and 1 year old French-oak barrels. This delightful wine was cold-stabilized then filtered and bottled in spring, 2004.
