Viña Progreso Overground Viognier 2021 White

Located in Canelones, Viña Progreso is a boutique producer known for its experimentation and innovative approach to winemaking. Their ‘Overground’ label represents a series of wines that push the boundaries of traditional Uruguayan wine production. The 2021 Overground Viognier exhibits a rich, aromatic profile with notes of peach, apricot and honeysuckle. On the palate, expect a full-bodied, textured wine with moderate acidity and a lingering finish.

The grapes are collected by hand in small boxes and immediately transported to the cellar. They are selected in a conveyor belt or sorting table to optimise the fruit quality used in the vinification. We press, working with very low pressure level in order to obtain the best quality first drop juice. The wine is tasted during all the process and is the winemaker who decides the destiny of the wines and when to stop pressing.
The juice is cooled at 10º-12º Celsius in stainless steel tanks during the night in order to settle down some solids. The juice is sown with selected yeast to enhance desired characteristics. Following fermentation occurs with temperature control (13º-16°C) during 25 days. When fermentation is finished, the wine is racked and goes to stainless steel tanks

Delicious as an aperitif or with raw vegetables. Also with seafood and oriental spicy fish dishes. 

Serving temperature: 12°C.
