2024 Oculus Viognier
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: pear, lemon curd, lilies, apricot, lychee, honey suckle
On the palate: Well folks! We did it again! Perfect balance of tropical fruit and floral notes
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!

What is an ‘Oculus’?
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.
