Taking some things we learned from the 2018 vintage and applying them to the 2019 vintage, Version 2.0 definitely shows our intent to create a wine with more focus and clarity to its expression. The 2019 wine wholly expresses the Viognier with focused varietal fruit and flavor with a few shadings of the Amphora. Our main changes to the winemaking were two-fold: one was to harvest the fruit at lower sugars (finished alcohol is 12.9%) and two was to wait to release the wine until it had aged an additional year in bottle (it was bottled last summer).
Varietally focused aromas of apricot, white flowers, peach, citrus, caramel, and ginger are clean, complex, and brilliant. The wine’s mouth is filled with more varietal fruit showing nice roundness, medium body, light tannin, and good acidity that carry the apricot, peach, citrus, and clayey, minerally (Amphora) flavors on the very long finish. Bright and light on its feet, we are thrilled to release this second vintage. A really fun, interesting, delicious wine, the 2019 1NGREDIENT Viognier is drinking beautifully today and should age effortlessly for at least the next decade or more. Crafted from 100% certified biodynamic grapes.
