True to the style of Viognier, the aromas present full notes of ripe apricot and white peach with light hints of florals and white pepper. The palate is brimming with stone fruits, a touch of roasted fennel and a streak of minerality on the finish. 6.7g/L of residual sugar gives just a touch of texture and faint sweetness, making it ready to pair with flavourful Indian dishes, like a butter chicken or veggie korma.
The 2024 vintage from Hester Creek was sourced from just south of the border in the Columbia Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA). This AVA and its sub-AVAs were chosen for the proximity and similarities to the South Okanagan with respect to terroir, varietals and viticultural history. We chose the vineyard blocks based on our quality standards and all the winemaking was done in-house by our winemaking team.
