2023 Carol Shelton Viognier – Wild Thing, Exquisite White Wine

Discover the elegance of Carol Shelton’s 2023 Viognier from California’s Sierra Foothills—a true masterpiece crafted in Placer County’s renowned wine region. This golden-hued gem captivates with its vibrant bouquet of white blossoms—jasmine, gardenia, and honeysuckle—intertwined with delicate green tea undertones and zesty citrus zest. Subtle hints of creamy vanilla oak add depth without overpowering the wine’s natural brightness.

On the palate, this Viognier strikes an impeccable balance between refreshing crispness and velvety smoothness. Juicy Honeycrisp apple and green peach flavors dance alongside tangy grapefruit zest, while a touch of oak-inspired sweetness softens the finish. At 13.2% alcohol by volume, it’s perfectly approachable yet complex enough for connoisseurs seeking sophistication.

Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with seared scallops, goat cheese salads, or spicy Asian cuisine, this versatile white shines in any setting. Its bright acidity cuts through richness while its creamy texture complements lighter dishes effortlessly—making it a crowd-pleaser for casual gatherings or refined dinners alike.

Crafted with precision by Carol Shelton’s expert winemaking team, this 2023 vintage embodies the Sierra Foothills’ terroir—offering a refined alternative to heavier whites while maintaining Viognier’s signature versatility.
