Notes

2017 Darow Series Viognier

Servings: 4

Chef: Tim Keller

Wine Pairing: 2017 Darow Series Viognier

Our homage to the recognized benchmark Viognier wines of Condrieu was fermented with our vineyard’s indigenous yeasts in proprietary French oak barrels, where the wine underwent bâttonage—stirring of the yeast lees—in barrel for an additional 10 months. These laborious techniques produced an opulent wine of dense yet delicate richness, remarkable complexity, and impeccable balance. Flower blossom perfume, clover honey, and toasted coconut aromatics are followed by preserved lemon meringue, vanilla bean crème brulée, and apricot fruit flavors. This tightly wound wine’s utterly spectacular concentration and length will develop over the next three to five years.
