Winemaker’s Note: Viognier (pronounced: Vee-Own-Yay) has been described as “Chardonnay’s ravishing, exotic sister”. This wine has a luscious mouthfeel without being buttery. It is easy to drink and pair with food. Perfectly balanced, it’s an exciting expression of the Viognier varietal.
On the nose: bananas taffy taffy/runts, peach rings, lime zest, honey apricot
On the palate: bananas taffy taffy/runts, peach rings, lime zest, honey apricot, with great acids
Food pairing ideas: Any shellfish, halibut, or curries. Spicy thai or sushi would be perfect with this wine. Because of the slight acidity, pair with anything a bit buttery or made with cream!

An Oculus is a circular opening in the center of a dome or in a wall. It is a feature of Byzantine and Neoclassical Architecture. Our Oculus Viognier shines a golden light on the fruitful aromas. Completing the circle of taste.
