*9W* 2015 Favia "Suize" Viognier (Amador County, CA)
9W
Lushly ripe grapes and lengthy oak aging combine for yummy full-bodied wines
*9W* 2015 Favia "Suize" Viognier (Amador County, CA)
Favia’s vineyards are located in Amador, what was once the heart of California gold-mining country, but you won’t need to dig too far to see the treasure in this bottle. Viognier, a unique varietal typically found in Northern Rhone, produces a wine that is bursting with tropical fruit, nectarine, and a fair bit of acidity to back it up. Pair this really well with squashes or root veg.
About The Varietal
Viognier
Viognier, synonymous with the northern Rhône, is a versatile grape that plays a dual role, not only as a white wine grape but also blended with Syrah in red wines. When crafted as a varietal wine, Viognier produces golden-colored, aromatic white wines characterized by pronounced stone fruit aromas, with apricots and peaches commonly noted. The wines are known for their full-bodied and often textural palate. However, Viognier is susceptible to high alcohol levels and may exhibit low levels of freshening acidity.
How To Enjoy
Enjoy with foie gras, seafood pizza, or keep it simple with a BLT!
