Description
21% of the blend fermented and matured on the gross lees in a concrete egg and the remainder 79% maturing in older French oak barriques for 8 months before bottling.With Viognier characteristically known to be medium to high alcohol with low acidity, this particular wine is a refreshing expression of the variety with a final acidity of 7.07 g/L –an increase of 1.47 g/L TA from the previous year. Remarkable, really.
