Novelty Hill 2024 Stillwater Creek Vineyard Viognier
"Fresh and focused, with perfumed floral and stone fruit aromas. Juicy pear, mango, and Gravenstein apple flavors are woven throughout a richly textured mid-palate with just the right amount of acidity for a balanced, polished finish." -Mike Januik, Winemaker
Stillwater Creek's Viognier is Entav 642, originally from Tablas Creek cuttings imported by way of Château de Beaucastel. It is planted on a moderately sloped section of the vineyard with large chunks of fractured basalt found throughout the sandy loam. A drought-resistant variety, it does well in the Columbia Valley's dry, arid summer conditions and the region's warm fall days and cool nights help preserve the grapes' natural acidity.
