FLAVOUR PROFILE
• Take the time to stop and smell the 'Viognier'; a beautiful aromatic wine showing notes of fresh peach, tangerine, apricot, honeysuckle and lilac.
• This dry, medium-bodied wine has fresh, fruity flavours of peach and tropical fruit, lightly accented by floral notes.
• Lovely notes of tangerine, floral and spice linger on the finish.
• Serve chilled at 11 to 13ºC and enjoy with lightly spiced pan-fried fish fillets; roast chicken; baked ham; lightly spiced stir-fries over Jasmine rice; spiced fish cakes; coconut shrimp skewers; mild curry dishes; Tandoori turkey rolls.
GROWING CONDITIONS
The mid and southern Okanagan, and Similkameen Valleys, experienced an early start to the growing season with warm, dry conditions which persisted until August. The month of August and early September experienced smoke covered valleys from local wild fires which slowed the ripening process, allowing for an extended period for ripening and development of flavours. During late September conditions improved providing an excellent harvest period for early ripening varietals. An early October frost caused some issues with late ripening varietals, but overall the 2018 vintage saw a near normal to good growing season.
