Grapes are typically harvested in early-to-mid October at an average of 25.2 Brix, then fermented on the skins for six to nine days before finishing fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages for seven months in a combination of new and used French and American oak barrels, adding structure and spice without overwhelming the fruit. The inclusion of 24% Tannat in the blend distinguishes this from many single-varietal Petite Sirahs, contributing additional tannin backbone and color depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, saturated purple in the glass, the nose opens with opulent dark berries — boysenberry and olallieberry — before moving into baking spices and orange marmalade.

The vineyards sit below the waterline for most of the year, keeping temperatures two to five degrees cooler than the surrounding area and producing a more pronounced diurnal temperature swing — conditions that preserve Viognier's natural acidity while allowing full aromatic development. The grapes are cold fermented entirely in stainless steel, a deliberate choice that foregrounds the variety's stone-fruit character without the influence of oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light straw in the glass, this wine opens with ripe peach, apricot, and pear aromas. Underneath those core stone fruits, there are layers of citrus blossom, lychee, and a subtle thread of white blossom honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is bright and zippy, with yellow apple and white peach leading into a mid-palate of mango, pineapple, and apricot. A vein of minerality runs through the center, keeping the ripe fruit focused, while a vanilla-tinged richness fills out the mouthfeel without turning heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and moderately long, with lingering stone fruit and a clean, refreshing acid line.

This Viognier is expressive enough to drink on its own but flexible in mixed drinks and wine-based cocktails. A \u003cstrong\u003eWhite Peach Sangria\u003c\/strong\u003e works beautifully here, as the wine's natural peach character amplifies the fresh fruit. It also performs well in a \u003cstrong\u003eViognier Spritz\u003c\/strong\u003e — topped with soda and a sprig of mint — where its tropical notes add complexity beyond a typical white wine spritz. For something richer, try it in a \u003cstrong\u003eFrench 75 variation\u003c\/strong\u003e substituting Viognier for Champagne; the stone-fruit depth adds a California twist to the classic template.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eBest For\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm-weather patio drinking with friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing white wine drinkers to the Viognier grape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairing with a Southeast Asian or Pacific Rim dinner menu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBringing a crowd-pleasing bottle to a casual dinner party\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does McManis Viognier taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e McManis Viognier is a bright, fruit-forward white wine dominated by peach, apricot, and yellow apple flavors, balanced by a touch of minerality and a smooth, clean finish. It has a rich mouthfeel for a stainless-steel-fermented wine, with tropical hints of mango and lychee adding complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does McManis Viognier compare to Condrieu?\u003c\/strong\u003e Condrieu, the benchmark Viognier appellation in France's Northern Rhône, typically commands a significantly higher price and often shows more floral intensity and oily texture. McManis delivers comparable stone-fruit aromatics at a fraction of the cost, though it trades some of Condrieu's weight and complexity for brighter acidity and a cleaner, more straightforward profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs McManis Viognier good for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely — its approachable fruit-forward style and lack of oak make it an ideal introduction to the Viognier grape. The aromatic intensity is inviting without being overwhelming, and the balanced acidity keeps the wine refreshing and easy to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is McManis Viognier made?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is produced by McManis Family Vineyards in the River Junction AVA of California's Central Valley, located at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Stanislaus Rivers. This microclimate's cooler temperatures and wide diurnal swings create favorable conditions for aromatic white varieties like Viognier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with McManis Viognier?\u003c\/strong\u003e Thai green curry works well, as the wine's stone-fruit sweetness tempers the chili heat. Seared scallops with a citrus beurre blanc complement the wine's rich texture. Roasted chicken with apricot glaze echoes its core fruit profile. Soft, creamy cheeses like Brie or triple-crème amplify the wine's smooth mouthfeel. Grilled shrimp skewers with mango salsa mirror its tropical notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does McManis Viognier come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e McManis Viognier is widely available in the standard 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs McManis Viognier worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e McManis Viognier positions firmly in the value tier, consistently delivering Gold Medal and 90-point quality at an entry-level price point. For a varietal that can command steep prices in appellations like Condrieu, this bottling represents one of the better Viognier values available in the California market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy McManis Viognier?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe River Junction AVA's unusual below-waterline vineyard sites give McManis access to cooler growing conditions that most Central Valley producers simply cannot replicate, and that microclimate advantage shows up directly in the glass as preserved acidity and lifted aromatics. Cold stainless-steel fermentation keeps the focus squarely on fruit purity — no oak shortcuts, no residual sugar tricks. The wine's competitive track record, including a Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and 90 points from Wine Enthusiast, confirms that the approach works vintage after vintage. In a category where many affordable Viogniers lean flabby or one-dimensional, this bottling stays balanced, aromatic, and genuinely interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McManis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837840421033,"sku":"33128","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/McManis-Viognier__39666.jpg?v=1730497051"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/mcmanis.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
