Amphora Viognier – Vintage 2023
- ✔️ AVA: Lake Chelan-grown grapes
- ✔️ Technique: Amphora-aged
- ✔️ Texture: Luscious with exotic fruit layers
- ✔️ Finish: Mineral-driven, citrus-laced
Vibrant, yet elegant this Viognier is anything but ordinary. Aged in hand-crafted Italian terracotta amphora (a.k.a. The Drunk Turtle), it develops a rich, creamy texture while holding onto the varietal’s signature floral lift and stone fruit energy.
Aromas of honeysuckle, apricot, and Meyer lemon zest lead into a full-bodied palate with notes of ripe peach, almond skin, and a subtle whisper of minerality courtesy of Lake Chelan’s glacially influenced soils.
Amphora aging softens the edges and deepens the texture, giving this wine a beautifully round and expressive finish without the influence of oak.
There is nothing quite like a Lake Chelan AVA Viognier. If you love white wines, then you deserve to try a bottle (or more) of this lovely offering.
Pair with: Crab bisque, Thai coconut curry, or a creamy lemon pasta.
