GARD VINTERS 2023 'Freyja' (Royal Slope, WA)

This flagship Rhone white blend of 72% Viognier and 28% Roussanne begins with caramelized peach, nectarine, white flowers, honeysuckle, chamomile tea, and citrus rind.  Medium-bodied, with tons of white stone fruits, citrus, and a floral lift. The texture and mid-palate sweetness here are outstanding, and they are framed by remarkable tension and a beautiful acid presentation. The wine finishes long and mineral, with a saline touch classic from Corfu Crossing’s volcanic soils. Great now, you can enjoy this blend for the next 5 years.
