Varietals: Viognier
Origin: Malhi Farms, Golden Mile Bench, Okanagan Valley
The southerly aspect at this site provides a warm climate, but being on the western slope of the valley, the lack of afternoon sun and abundance of morning sun make for a slightly cooler growing area. Combined with well-drained fluvial fans of stony gravel and sandy loam, the grapes are able to slowly ripen, and better retain acidity.
Natural primary fermentation, full malolactic fermentation, fermented on skins and stems for 14 days, basket pressed; aged for 8 months in neutral oak, unfined and unfiltered.
