David Akiyoshi Clarksburg Viognier 2017
About the wine
Crisp, refreshing white dripping with juicy stone fruits
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
Ready to drink now, but also can age. Based on past wine histories, this wine 2-3 years of nice cellaring. I do think it would age well beyond that timeline as well, depending on personal preference.
Serving advice
Enjoy it lightly chilled, closer to cellar temp (50-55F).
Food match
Grilled chicken with a slightly sweet and tangy marinade, or diver scallops with a citrus/ponzu reduction. Always have a glass with fresh Dungeness crab and sourdough bread...always.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label
