F. Stephen Millier Black Label Lodi Viognier 2018
About the wine
A stunningly vibrant Viognier full of intense, tropical fruit
- Overflowing with exotic fruit flavors, Stephen’s voluptuous Viognier is rich, juicy and endlessly refreshing.
- This wine was sent "direct to press", no crushing. That's why this Gold Country white is full of such fresh fruit... what you expect from a good Viognier!
- Watch a buttery braise of lemon and garlic clams jump to life when this Viognier joins the party. Chill it down, give a generous splash to the pan, then sip, sip away.
Best before
Because I've blended in a small portion of Calaveras County sourced fruit this Viognier will improve with age for the next year or two. Maybe longer.
Serving advice
Please serve this Viognier cool but not cold. This allows you to taste all the fruit flavors, nothing is hiding. A few moments in the glass would help too.
Food match
Lately we've been enjoying our wines with sautéed clams braised in a white wine sauce composed of saffron, garlic and a dash of lemon poured over fresh home made pasta.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Stephen Millier
- Stephen is no stranger to gold medals, but usually his prestigious employers are the only ones in the limelight.
- We offered Stephen some Angel funding to set aside some of his favorites wines and vineyards to make a special range with his name on the label just for us, and he jumped at the opportunity.
- If you like underdogs, Stephen's your man. He will find the over-looked and under-appreciated and he will take precious care to make sure they grow into big, beautiful wines that deserve more attention.
