Viognier 2017
The Story:
Beginning with our first vintage release of Viognier in 2008 (Buckin’ Horse White) and in consecutive releases, outstanding awards and accolades have been received. Flat Creek has helped introduce Texas wine consumers to the beauty of a well-crafted Viognier. Each vintage expresses the nuances of the growing season and the 2017 is no exception!
The Tasting Notes:
The 2017 Viognier exhibits tropical aromas and flavors evocative of a sandy beach. Aromas of fresh under ripe bananas and papaya explode out of the glass. A mineral grip and acidic lemon leave your mouth salivating for another sip of this popular dry white wine. Enjoy with a plate of fresh fruits and soft cheeses.
