The Estates

2012 Wahluke Slope Viognier

Milbrandt Vineyards The Estates Viognier from the 2012 vintage is a vibrant expression of this delightful varietal, hailing from the renowned Wahluke Slope region. This wine showcases a medium-bodied profile that elegantly dances between richness and bright acidity, making it a wonderfully refreshing choice. The aroma is filled with luscious notes of stone fruit, especially apricot and peach, accompanied by hints of floral elegance that enhance its appeal. The balance of acidity lends it a lively mouthfeel, while the overall smoothness and gentle fruit intensity create a delightful experience on the palate. This Viognier is considered food-friendly, pairing beautifully with a variety of dishes such as seafood and light salads, or simply enjoyed on its own as a lovely sip.

Region:


Wahluke Slope

The Wahluke Slope is a pinprick within the larger Columbia Valley, measuring just 15 miles wide. The appellation is situated on south-facing sloped highland on a bend of the Columbia River. Merlot dominates the planted vineyards here, with Cabernet Sauvignon close behind. Vines in the area experience high levels of stress during the growing season because of the dry soils, which result in small concentrated fruit with bountiful flavors.
