Alban, Viognier, Central Coast, California, 2023

Overview of the Wine
Alban Vineyards is the first America winery and vineyard established exclusively for Rhone varieties. Conceived at a time when there were virtually only two "flavors" of wine produced in the U.S., they set out to introduce wine grapes that would offer oenephiles a new world of possibilities. Pioneering Roussanne, Grenache Noir and Viognier to go along with meticulously selected clones of Syrah, Alban Vineyards has guided consumers and producers to the enormous potential of Rhone varietals in California.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Alban Central Coast Viognier showcases the forward heady stone fruit of this variety. It is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel and bottled early.

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
All from the estate and brought up in a mix of tank, oak, and terra-cotta, the 2023 Viognier Central Coast has a lively, perfumed nose of ripe stone fruits, brioche, apricot, and savory flower notes with a textured style. This rich, concentrated, food-driven beauty will shine on the dinner table. (Aug 2024)
