While best known from its spiritual home in the northern Rhône, the Napa Valley offerings are just as compelling, where perfume and stone fruit character meet Napa sunshine and precision. A wine that’s both luxurious and refreshing, it’s also incredibly rare – only 1% of the state’s entire white wine crop is Viognier, of which only a tiny amount is produced from Napa’s pricey soils. But we are treasure hunters, after all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLot 587 is an estate-grown 100% Viognier from the heart of the valley. Our source’s devotion to the varietal is such that while others tend to plant it in Napa’s cooler southern reaches, they choose to cultivate it with obsessive precision in a benchland vineyard smack dab in the middle of prime Cab territory, using these prized soils out of love for the grape. So, it’s only fitting that something so special is the \u003cem\u003efirst Napa Valley Viognier in the history of our Lot program\u003c\/em\u003e. A luscious wine with a touch of lees stirring for added refinement, it’s sold in the neighborhood of $45\/bottle direct from the winery, but you know what we do – we’ve negotiated this down to a price that would have been amazing decades ago…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur price: \u003cs\u003e$18\/bottle\u003c\/s\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e$15.30\/bottle with the New Release Discount!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA delicate lower-yielding vine, Viognier is notoriously difficult to grow well, demanding warmth to develop its signature aromatics but also losing its elegance if picked even slightly late. It thrives in well-draining soils and a combination of warm days and cool nights for ripening – all traits that this part of Napa has in abundance. Produced with a mild oak program in addition to lees stirring, this is a lovely bottle that showcases a strong sense of place and is perfect for drinking young.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFragrant and full-bodied, this golden wine rises from the glass with expressive notes of nectarine and peach, layered with wet stone, crushed gravel, and a sublime minerality wrapped in a veil of ripe cantaloupe. On entry, lychee and mango are bolstered by river stones and exceptional palate weight, with medium+ acidity adding lift. A flash of spice marks the finish before gradually yielding to stone fruit, beeswax, and mineral persistence. A \"your favorite winemaker’s favorite white wine\" type of find, in stock and ready to rock immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e12.5% alc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Négoce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56680098693286,"sku":"BTL.OG0587","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/3299\/2908\/files\/Lot587-25NVViognier.png?v=1781893729","url":"https:\/\/www.denegoce.com\/products\/lot-587-2025-napa-valley-viognier-750ml","provider":"de Négoce","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
