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.

Virginia, with its rich historical heritage and varied landscapes, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions on the East Coast. Spanning from the Atlantic coastline to the Appalachian Mountains, Virginia's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) encompass a wide array of terroirs. The cool breezes from the Atlantic and the higher elevations of the mountains play a major role in moderating Virginia's vineyards, providing a balanced climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the coastal and mountainous regions, producing elegant and nuanced wines, while further inland, the warmer valleys support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This range of conditions allows Virginia to produce a wide variety of wine styles, reflective of its unique and diverse growing regions.
