This succulent Rhône style white blend is a delight either as an aperitif or with any number of different foods. While the exact percentage of the three grape varieties varies from year to year, the 2016 vintage is 45% Viognier, 30% Marsanne and 25% Roussanne. Barrel fermented and aged predominantly in neutral French oak barrels, the fruit is always estate grown, and native yeast ferments are always used. Cowhorn practices Biodynamic® farming. Intensely aromatic, the wine has mouth-filling flavors of peach and citrus, plus slate-minerality.
