David Akiyoshi Clarksburg Viognier 2020
About the wine
Rich, luscious Viognier made for easy summertime sipping
- Mouthwatering layers of bright tropical fruit flavors and ripe, juicy peach course through this lush, summery white, all rounded off with a long, refreshing finish.
- Your funding helped David harvest his Viognier from sun-soaked Clarksburg, where the fruit hangs on the vines longer than usual due to the hot, dry summers – the perfect recipe for this luscious, refreshing white.
- This vibrant Viognier is a delectable easy-sipper you can enjoy all on its own, but the flavors really take off with food. Next time you’re bringing your favorite people together for a dinner party or an afternoon lounging on the patio, just make sure this Viognier is involved!
Best before
This lively Viognier is tasting delicious now, but I think it would also age well for at least 2-3 years if you'd like to hold onto it for a bit.
Serving advice
Enjoy this white slightly chilled at around 50º-55ºF.
Food match
A nicely grilled chicken with a slightly sweet, tangy marinade would be a great match. Diver scallops napped with a citrus/ponzu reduction could also work well. Always have a glass ready for fresh crab and sourdough bread...always.
Contains sulphites
