The Viognier is our sixteenth 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. 2025 was a very good Viognier vintage, with good richness, better-than-usual acids, and a little more of the classic apricot and jasmine exuberance that makes it one of the most distinctive of the Rhone whites.
Tasting Notes
A gorgeous, exuberant nose of ripe apricot, jasmine, and sweet green herbs. The palate is mouth-filling with apricot and nectarine flavors, great acids for Viognier, and a little minty lift.

Production Notes
Our Viognier grapes were grown on our Regenerative Organic Certified™ and biodynamic estate vineyard.
The 2025 vintage began dry but finished wet, with two-thirds of the winter's precipitation coming in February and March. That late rain delayed budbreak and allowed us to dodge any spring frosts. The summer was warm but rarely hot, with the fewest 100° days in our history. Harvest began at a normal time frame but cool temperatures in September and October slowed down harvest. We navigated two early rain events without damage and finished an extended but unhurried harvest in early November. The exceptionally long hangtime and gradual ripening combined to produce fruit with deep colors, remarkable intensity, and noteworthy vibrancy. We believe 2025 has all the hallmarks of a blockbuster year.
The Viognier grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts. The lots were blended in April 2026, settled, and bottled in June.
