Has anyone madeViognier from juice? Taste?


I have a chance to get some fresh Chilean Viognier juice in April/May.






What yeast should I use?


Any suggestions?

Where you from? Our wine club is in the S.Jersey (Burlington, Camden, Gloucester County)area. www.ginpinto.com is where you can get it. They are in Hammonton.
You are invited to our next meeting if you can make it March 8th.

Thanks for the invite. I'm in Central Jersey (upper Middlesex County). Ginpinto looks to be close to two hours away. Might take the ride when the season comes around. I see they'll have Chilean available in May.

You MUST pre-order. Prices are posted.

I have never made a Viognier but I will be getting a bucket of fresh juice from California this year. Many of the other guys in my club have made it and it makes a very nice white wine. I am planning on using ICV-D47 for all of my whites this year. I have never used it but I have heard lots of good things about it promoting fruitiness in whites and roses.
