Late Harvest

2009 Virginia Viognier

The Barrel Oak Winery Late Harvest Viognier from the 2009 vintage is a delightful example of the rich and expressive offerings from Virginia. This white wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, imparting a satisfying mouthfeel that is beautifully balanced by its high acidity, which brings a refreshing brightness. The fruit intensity is prominent, exuding lush aromas and flavors of apricot, peach, and honey, appealing to those with a sweet tooth. The wine is off-dry, with a subtle sweetness that complements its well-structured character, making it an ideal companion for desserts or enjoyed on its own. The Late Harvest designation adds complexity, as the grapes are carefully handpicked at their peak ripeness, allowing for the development of rich, concentrated flavors that speak to the terroir of Virginia. This exceptional wine exemplifies the potential of the region and is a testament to the craftsmanship of Barrel Oak Winery.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
