Viognier: The Package
We have been following the Viognier from December 2nd, when the wine finished fermentation, before it headed into barrels, and way before aging. But one important part that isn’t winemaking, is its package!
The Viognier has a similar design to its Generations Tier sibling, the Petit Verdot Petite Sirah, only the picture is unique to the Viognier vineyard. We racked our brains thinking of something that reminds us of the vineyard and then it came to us… our vineyard has an owl nesting box on the edge of the property. When we are in the vineyard there is always a chance of catching the owl coming and going!
And we have also printed the label using 30% Post Consumer Recycled Paper. We talk about post consumer a ton around here, and it is simply paper stock that has a portion of consumer items that would otherwise have been disposed of as waste. These include office paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, plastics and metals.
With the label and wine complete and bottling scheduled in a few weeks (stay tuned for a few pictures!), we are excited to have our first ever Viognier in bottle ready to drink for the summer!
The release date and first taste outside the winery walls? The Wine Club’s Summer Selection!
