Ex Nihilo XXX Single Vineyard Viognier 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn 2017, their estate viognier in cool-climate Lake Country froze on the vine, and was picked and processed afterwards, which is not ideal. For 2018, they sourced fruit from Naramata, fermenting in stainless before aging in both stainless and French oak. Ripe and waxy on the medium-bodied palate, with yellow apples, honeydew, peach and vanilla. There’s a bitter peach pit note to close out the finish. Somewhat disjointed, and best taken with grilled sauced ribs.Tasted: 17 August 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
