Viognier can be challenging to produce in Niagara due to its later ripening and sensitivity to winter compared to other white grape varieties. Our 2022 Andre De Grasse Viognier stands as an excellent example of the potential for this variety when weather conditions permit. The nose has high intensity aromas of honeydew melon, apricot, white peach, grilled pineapple, and honeysuckle, along with additional complexities of toast, charred wood, and vanilla from aging. On the palate, things are medium to full bodied, enhanced by slightly oily texture that is so characteristic of this grape. Despite being higher in alcohol than most white wines, it remains very well balanced with bright cool climate acidity and no heat lingering over its lengthy finish.  .
