Stags’ Leap Winery 2019 Stags’ Leap Viognier

Description

Stags’ Leap Napa Valley Viognier White Wine is sourced from three select vineyards in the Oak Knoll and Carneros AVAs. Located in the southern part of Napa Valley, these cooler vineyards are optimal for growing Viognier, providing sufficient sun exposure for ripening and cool marine fog for maintaining natural acidity. Expressive, aromatic, and fresh, this wine highlights classic stone fruit and citrus blossom characteristics, with racing acidity and steely minerality which add to the crispness and complexity. It is a balanced and refreshing warm-weather wine with ample acidity and flavor nuances to pair nicely with a wide variety of cuisines. Established in 1893, Stags Leap Winery is one of the oldest California wine estates within the acclaimed Stags Leap District. A unique terroir and ideal microclimate support a classical standard of viticulture, land use, and winemaking that is as relevant today as it was over a century ago.
