VIOGNIER 2023

July 2024 White Wine of the Month
Experience the allure of the 2023 Viognier, a truly captivating white wine. Originating from the renowned vineyards of Languedoc-Roussillon and the Rhône Valley in France, Viognier is celebrated for its aromatic intensity and is often blended with Marsanne and Roussanne. Beyond France, this grape flourishes in regions like Australia and the USA, where California, in particular, produces exceptional Viognier wines.

Our Lynfred 2023 Viognier, crafted from grapes grown in Lodi, CA, beautifully captures this tradition. California’s climate imparts a delightful tropical dimension to the wine, while we’ve enhanced its complexity by blending in 15% Chardonnay, fermented in French oak. The result is a wine that balances tropical flavors with a creamy, luxurious texture.

Savor the tropical notes and silky mouthfeel of our Lynfred 2023 Viognier, a perfect reflection of both its French heritage and California’s vibrant terroir.
