in this newest vintage of oriana, the riesling component has been bumped up to 18%; the rest is half viognier, 31% roussanne. the three grapes complement each other well; the riesling adding aromatics, acidity and a barely perceptible amount of residual sugar. this opens with a vitamin pill aroma that slowly dissipates; the fruit flavors are a mix of pineapple and satsuma orange, with lots of natural acidity.
