Hillside Heritage Series Viognier 2020

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Kathy Malone is long on fragrance and elegance at Hillside, and this Naramata viognier delivers. Floral blossoms and honeysuckle signal a fresh style with a lightly bitter guava underside to keep it all on track. Dry and polished, it is a fine food wine too. 38 percent was barrel fermented in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd use French oak barrels, while the balance was slow fermentation in stainless steel. After five months, it was racked, blended and bottled.Tasted: 02 July 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
