Kew Marsanne Viognier
At Kew Vineyards we pride ourselves on our unique vineyard, which includes some of the oldest vines in Ontario, along with a few rare varietals for the region. Nothing is more special, in our opinion, than our Marsanne vines, which remain unique to us and continue to thrive, despite our cool climate and the challenges it presents.
On the nose, notes of lemon and pineapple are complemented by undertones of orange blossom, deepening into sweet vanilla extract and a touch of macadamia nut. With a lean acidic backbone, pineapple and citrus remain bright and structured on the palate. Aging in French Puncheons for eight months allows the minerality in this wine to shine, while a hint of creaminess keeps the finish long and structured.
