LOVE this style of Viognier! Floral, exotic, intoxicating. The grapes for Township 7’s 2017 Viognier grow in the Raju Vineyard in Osoyoos, British Columbia, owned by Gurpreet Dhaliwal. The wine is fermented in 30% French oak barrels and 70% stainless steel tanks. Pair with fish or chicken in a lemon sauce. Oh yum.

Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Wine grapes for Township 7’s 2017 Viognier were sourced from the Raju Vineyard in Osoyoos, British Columbia. The vineyard is owned by Gurpreet Dhaliwal who partnered with Roger Pires for this vintage and who has 30 years of experience working with this site. This is a 100% Viognier produced from French Condrieu clone 642 fermented in 30% French oak barrels and 70% stainless steel tank resulting in some lovely soft aromatics of ripe peaches, honeycomb, soft citrus and a clean mineral finish on the nose. Pale lemon in the glass, the wine is dry (residual sugar: 3.4 g/l), medium-plus bodied, crisp with lemon curd, pink grapefruit, lemon tea, Honeycrisp apple flavours, light spice and a lingering lemony finish. Subtle and elegant with good acidity for food -- just a great match for a roast turkey or lemon duck.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Delish. Aromas of grapefruit, peach and floral hints along with stony, mineral notes. Medium bodied and smooth on the palate with lots of ripe stone fruit flavours. Slight hint of spice and minerality on the finish. Enjoy with grilled tuna or other white fish, or even sushi.
