Barboursville Vineyard – Viognier 2023 – Virginia

The nose is fruity, aromatic, precise, frank and offers a certain straightness. It reveals notes of lychee, green apple and small notes of crunchy nectarine associated with touches of small yellow fruits / kumquat. The palate is beautifully built, well-balanced and offers gourmandise, roundness as well as a certain unctuosity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright green apple, bright vine peach and small notes of lychee associated with touches of crushed quince as well as a subtle hint of lemon, lemon blossom and a subtle hint of juicy / acidulous mirabelle plum. Good length. A wine full of finesse, precision and which offers a fine flint side. Good acidulous persistence.
