Bricoleur Kick Ranch Viognier 2024
Bricoleur Vineyards offers the exquisite 2024 Viognier from its Kick Ranch estate in the Fountaingrove District AVA. The 2024 growing season yielded a pristine fruit quality, thanks to the ideal climate conditions with a cool spring and warm summer. This Viognier is crafted from vines over two decades old, planted in rich volcanic soils on the hillside, ensuring a deeply floral aroma and balanced flavors.
Composition: 100% Viognier. The vines are over 20 years old, planted in volcanic soils.
Winemaking: The Viognier grapes were handpicked at night, gently crushed, and whole cluster pressed. Fermentation began in stainless-steel tanks and completed in 75-gallon stainless-steel drums, followed by 6 months of aging sur lie with bâtonnage.
Aging: Aged sur lie in stainless-steel drums for 6 months.
Wine Critic Reviews
James Suckling (90): Fragrant, elegant and serene, with light honeysuckle and white peaches on the nose and crisp green apples and basil on the palate. Expands on the palate with grapefruit, peach skin and minerals, showing great acidity through the lingering finish. Drink now or hold.
