About Vigo Cellars
“Vigo Cellars is a family-owned, artisan winery dedicated to the crafting of American Rhone wines. Dan and Kim Rodrigues launched Vigo Cellars in 2008 with a single vineyard Syrah from the Avila Valley in the San Luis Obispo Coast wine region, later expanding the portfolio to include a Grenache Blanc, Viognier, and Grenache.

With a focus on the crafting of small lots, Vigo Cellars utilizes new world winemaking techniques as well as time honored, old-world methods to express each vineyard’s terroir, while highlighting the varietal’s characteristics.”

TASTING NOTES:
Grenache - “Aromas burst with white peach, unripe mango, Asian pear and raw almond with subtle sweet floral notes of apple blossom and honeysuckle. On the palate the wine is bright, yet weighty with good creaminess and balanced flavors of peach, grapefruit and pear. The finish lingers with crisp minerality and cleansing acidity making this wine versatile and super food friendly.” (AbV 13.9%, pH 3.38, TA 0.55 g/100mL)

Viognier - “Grown in a far-west location in Paso Robles’ breezy, marine-kissed Templeton Gap, this Viognier has a crisp, mineral note that beautifully complements all the rich elegance and complexity the variety is known for… The pure fruit shows through: nectarine and apricot command the nose, but subtler citrus and honeysuckle notes play into the secondary aromas and remain on the palate well after the wine is gone.” (AbV 14.2%, pH 3.32, TA 0.77 g/100mL)

Rosé - “Pale salmon in color, and delicately fruity. Ripe strawberry, rose water, white peach and subtle hints of grapefruit on the nose and palate. Lovely and bright with harmonized acidity that leaves your palate refreshed…” (AbV 13.5%, pH 3.47, TA 0.54 g/100mL)

BARRELS:
7 months in half steel-half neutral French for the Rosé and Grenache, Viognier in neutral French.
