Viognier fruit from vines grown at 1,600m altitude on the eastern side of Limari Valley ensures a fresh take on this grape, which can sometimes be blowsy. There's all the ripe peach and apricot fruit you'd expect to find in a Viognier, but it's balanced here by fresh acidity, an attractive leafiness, and crisp lemon citrus. A great cool-climate expression of the variety.
