Introduction:
The 2024 Penner-Ash Viognier is a refined Oregon white that balances aromatic intensity and textural elegance. It’s crafted to emphasize floral lift, vibrant fruit, and crisp energy—ideal for pairing with refined dishes or sipping on its own.

Terroir:
Grapes are grown in vineyards within the Eola-Amity Hills AVA where cool marine influences and volcanic soils lend minerality, clarity, and lively acidity. The growing conditions provide optimal ripening: warm daytime sun tempered by cooling nighttime breezes.

Appearance:
Pale gold with slight green hues; clear and luminous.

Nose:
Aromas of apricot, white peach, and honeysuckle lead, with notes of orange blossom, Meyer lemon zest, and a light herbal nuance. There’s also subtle spice—ginger or white pepper—that adds intrigue.

Palate:
Medium-bodied, with a plush yet balanced texture. Stone fruit flavors (apricot, peach) combine with citrus (lemon, tangerine) and a floral lift. Fine acidity keeps the wine fresh, while a touch of salinity or mineral nuance supports the mid-palate.

Finish:
Clean, aromatic, and persistent. Fruit lingers with citrus zest; delicate floral and mineral echoes round out the finish, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Seared scallops with citrus beurre blanc or herb-roasted chicken breast

• Vegetarian option: Creamy polenta with wild mushrooms or roasted cauliflower with lemon and herbs

• Cheese pairing: Fresh chèvre or young Comté — cheeses that accentuate the wine’s fragrance and acidity

Overall Impression:
The 2024 Penner-Ash Viognier is an elegant and expressive Oregon white: vivid stone fruit, floral aromatics, and a mineral spine blend seamlessly. It’s rich without heaviness, balanced and lively—ideal for pairing with seafood or lighter fare, or enjoying solo.
