Delightful, Aromatic White as Only The Pacific Northwest Can Produce It.
First introduced as a Limited Release in April 2003, Cellar Craft received swift and enthusiastic feed back as the first batches were being bottled.
Washington produces simply outstanding aromatic white wines which just don't seem to be able to be matched from more southern regions. Cooler evenings and more varied growing seasons are thought to be the main reason. In any case, the most attractive Viogniers that we have experienced come from the Yakima (and Okanagan) Valleys and only Cellar Craft makes it available to the home vintner.
The aromas dazzle you with waves of apricot, mango, peach, orange blossom and violets with softer hints of spiced pear. The wine displays velvet softness and a full, lingering finish achieved by the addition of our natural Flavour Reserve made from almost 1 liter of grape juice. There are no artificial flavors or non-grape botanicals used in this wine - only the natural goodness of the grape.
Ready to enjoy after a couple of months in the bottle and usually consumed within 9 months. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif or with Asian foods, pork, chicken or fruit.
16 liter kit produces 23 liters (6 gallons) of wine.
