Laughing Stock Viognier 2022 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 92/100

Laughing Stock Viognier from Okanagan Valley is a lush, medium-bodied white offering aromas of ripe apricot, white blossom, and hints of warm spice. It's dry with bright acidity and a creamy texture. Serve it well chilled with pan-seared scallops as the wine's opulent fruit and silky mouthfeel will enhance the sweet, tender seafood beautifully, or pair it with roasted chicken with herbs where the wine's layered complexity and persistent finish will complement the savory flavors perfectly. Winemaker Sandy Leier, formerly of Sandhill Wines and now leading Laughing Stock's innovative approach since taking over three years ago, crafts this wine from 100% Viognier sourced from the Perfect Hedge Vineyard in Osoyoos and Bullpine in Okanagan Falls. The grapes are whole cluster pressed and fermented in 69% neutral French oak and 31% concrete eggs, then aged sur lie for six months, a unique combination of vessels that adds both richness and movement to the wine. Enjoy now or cellar for 3-6 years.

Viognier food pairings: pan-seared scallops, roasted chicken with herbs, seafood paella.
