David Akiyoshi Clarksburg Viognier 2019
About the wine
Fresh, light, summery white, swirling with luscious fruit flavors
- Ripe summer peaches drizzled with rich wildflower honey, soft flowery aromas floating past your nose – yes... David’s refreshing white is that sweeping and romantic! And it’ll definitely make you swoon.
- David harvested grapes from sun-soaked Clarksburg, where the fruit hangs on the vines longer than usual due to the hot, dry summers – the perfect recipe for an enchanting treat like this one.
- This wine's a work of art on its own, but the flavors really take off with food – slice up a warm, crusty baguette, add a dollop of creamy brie and take a sip of your Viognier for a flavor explosion!
Best before
Based on past wine histories, 2-3 years of nice cellaring. I do think it would age well beyond this timeline, but it then becomes a personal preference where the bottling aged qualities combine with the fruit to become a unique entity of its own.
Serving advice
It's drinking rather nicely now, so enjoy it lightly chilled closer to cellar temperature, around 50º-55ºF.
Food match
A nicely grilled chicken with a slightly sweet, tangy marinade would be a sporty match. Diver scallops napped with a citrus/ponzu reduction could be a perfect match. Always have a glass with fresh Dungeness crab and sourdough bread.
