WineSaint
Apricot and clove spice lift from the glass, the Viognier's aromatic influence unmistakable. Silky and generous on the palate with red currant and earth notes flowing through supple tannins. The co-fermentation has reached beautiful maturity, showing both concentration and finesse. Another decade of evolution ahead.
