WINE DESCRIPTION

Carol Shelton Wild Thing Viognier from Damiano Vineyard is a premium white wine that showcases the expertise of the renowned winemaker Carol Shelton. The wine is made from Viognier grapes grown in the Damiano Vineyard, which is located in the heart of the California wine country. The vineyard features well-drained soils and a warm climate, which allows the grapes to ripen fully and develop complex flavors. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including barrel fermentation and aging, which adds depth and complexity to the wine. The style of the wine is rich and full-bodied, with notes of tropical fruit, honey, and spice, making it a perfect pairing for seafood, poultry, and spicy dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Wine Enthusiast gave the 2022 vintage 91/100 and wrote the following: "Softly layered and well-integrated aromas of peach and salty melon show on the nose of this bottling.The palate's brisk apple, light stone fruit and edgy grapefruit flavors play up against a rocky minerality and zippy acidity."
