Description:
Kongsgaard Napa Valley Viognier/Roussanne comes from 1500 vines grown on the Kongsgaard family vineyard with the extremely low yields typical of our property. The blend is made in the field, and the two varieties are pressed together and barrel fermented in old French oak barrels without the addition of cultured yeast. Unlike the Chardonnays, the "VioRous" is bottled after just 10 months in barrel to capture the fresh fruit aromas. The high-toned perfume typical of Viognier is brought down to earth by the rustic Roussanne to create an exotic, hedonistic wine. The blend varies from year to year to achieve the ideal integration of the nearly opposite qualities of these two varieties.
