2018 Twilight, Late Harvest Viognier
Buy Now: $34.00

This Sauternes-style wine is a classic expression of a Botrytised late-harvest wine, containing 100% Viognier. The grapes are from the Sea Rose Ranch at the northern end of the Dry Creek Valley appellation. Cool, foggy nights followed by the warm sun during the day makes an ideal environment for the "Noble Rot" Botrytis to grow and provide that concentration of flavors and complexity that a great Sauternes exhibits.

Our 2018 Twilight offers a bright bouquet of honey and stone fruit blossoms, leading directly to round flavors of ripe peach and summer melon. It is truly worthy of that most magical time of day after which it is named.

Los Niños Perdidos (The Lost Children). Small grape clusters who hide from sight when the workers come through the vineyards during the hectic harvest season. The grapes wait patiently, knowing that we’ll not leave them behind. They continue to develop intense flavor and ripeness for a few more weeks.

Que Es Encontrado (Who Are Found). Finally, when care and time can be taken, we return to the vineyards and recover the lost. The fruit is gently crushed and fermented into wine, which takes on character of late harvest: jammy and supple mouth-feel with fruit-rich, berry flavors. Their purpose fulfilled. 375ml
