The 2024 Viognier is our fifteen bottling of the Rhône's best-known white grape. The Viognier grape, known more from the northern Rhone than the area around Chateauneuf-du-Pape, typically displays lush, floral, stone fruit notes. 2024 was an outstanding Viognier vintage, with classic flavors, good richness, solid acids, and a lovely salty mineral note that provided balance to the fruit.
Tasting Notes
An exuberant nose of fresh apricot, honeysuckle, lemongrass, and chalky mineral. The palate is gorgeous: textured and rich but still fresh, with flavors of peach and yellow raspberry, mandarin, sweet spices and salty rocks. The finish is long with stone fruit and star anise notes. Luscious, poised, and lovely.

Production Notes
Our Viognier grapes were grown on our Regenerative Organic Certified™ and biodynamic estate vineyard.
The 2024 vintage began with second consecutive wet winter, giving the vines good reserves for the growing season. After a normal budbreak and a cool first half of the summer, those reserves were tested by our warmest-ever July and above-average temperatures through October. That led to a compressed harvest that was largely done by the second week of October and yields roughly 20% below our long-term averages. The low yields and warm year combined to produce fruit with intense flavors and noteworthy vibrancy.
The Viognier grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts. The lots were blended in April 2025, settled, and bottled in June.
