2025 Viognier
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals vibrant aromas of ripe peach and apricot, layered with delicate white blossom, warm baking spice, and subtle notes of quince and orange peel. Rich and beautifully textured on the palate, generous stone fruit flavours are balanced by fresh, lively acidity and precision. The wine concludes with a long, elegant finish that lingers with notes of dried apricot and citrus zest.
Vintage Notes
Sourced from Osprey Vineyard, located just north of our estate winery on the Black Sage Bench. The 2025 growing season arrived nearly two weeks ahead of average, unfolding into one of the warmest vintages on record , yet notably absent of the extreme heat spikes seen in recent years. With yields reminiscent of the generosity experienced in 2022, the season marked a welcome return of abundant, high-quality fruit across the valley following the challenges of 2024.These early summer heat waves were followed by a mix of cool nights, supporting steady ripening throughout the season. An unusually high number of thunderstorms brought periods of heat and humidity, but careful vineyard management maintained clean, healthy vines. The season progressed smoothly, leading to one of the earliest harvests on record.
