2021 Bella Terra Viognier

SILVER, All Canadian Wine Championship 2024

Tasting Notes:

Bella Terra’s new Viognier offers ripe and creamy textures that effortlessly intertwine with a vibrant freshness. Harvested from a very small parcel on our home vineyard, this rare varietal in Niagara continues to deliver a unique addition to our portfolio. We strive to preserve the exciting characteristics of this wine while adding texture by using only acacia wood barrels in its 18 month aging process. Acacia lifts Viognier's aromas without masking them. 

This vintage is a touch lighter than its predecessor, striking a perfect balance with its refined alcohol level. On the nose, indulge in a bouquet of zesty citrus, crisp apple, luscious melon, and white peach, complemented by delicate hints of almond and white flowers. The palate reveals a luxurious tapestry of buttered citrus, succulent poached yellow apple, and enchanting notes of honeysuckle and acacia flowers with a hint of spice. Richly textured and elegantly balanced, this Niagara-on-the-Lake Viognier promises a beautiful evolution over the next four to six years.

Food Pairings:

A fresh seafood pasta or roasted chicken.
