2025 Viognier "O"
Fermented in contact with the skins, red-wine style, this Viognier has the texture, tannin and depth that you typically find in red wines. This rarely-made style of white wine is known as "orange wine", named for the unusual color it imparts, ranging from pale to bright orange.
You are unlikely to meet a more aromatic and deliciously unusual wine than this skin-fermented Viognier, nor one that is more challenging to describe! The nose is rambunctious with orange blossom and candied orange bounding from the glass, with perhaps a suggestion of beeswax in the background. In the mouth you may find ripe stone fruit of many varieties – and spices: allspice and eucalyptus and some exotic ones not in my spice rack. Amazing stuff.
Dry/full bodied, medium acid, medium tannin.
