Similarly, Walsh says this about
Virginia’s austere production of Viognier: “Viognier works very well in Virginia. I’ve had dozens of world-class Viogniers from Virginia wineries. I feel fortunate that a lot has been done in the past twenty years to hone in on how to treat it in the vineyard and how to treat it in the cellar. At Sunset Hills, we ferment some in the tank and some in neutral barrels, all at low temperatures to slow the fermentation and retain some of the floral aromatics. We make a higher acid Viognier, which, I think, makes an easier food wine.”
Te Canneys have successfully merged
the talents of many people who then helped to bring their vision to life—and at the same time they have demonstrated their commitment to sustainability, aesthetics and strong local connections. Come share in the relationships by enjoying a glass of wine on their tasting deck and relishing the local fine food. After all, that’s really what great wines, great life, not to mention great art, are all about.
