JONES VON DREHLE VIOGNIER 2019  | YADKIN VALLEY

BY THE BOTTLE / 40

The September Wine Feature is a beautiful white that is made in North Carolina by family-owned winery, Jones Von Drehle Vineyards and Winery!

The story of Jones von Drehle Vineyards and Winery began in 2007 when in-laws Chuck & Diana Jones and Ronny & Raymond von Drehle discovered a perfect piece of land in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Thurmond, NC. They created an Estate Winery, planting carefully selected varieties of grapes among the thirty acres. The result of their efforts can be enjoyed at Posana with a refreshing and classic 2019 Viognier that offers gentle aromas of honeysuckle, apricot and peach. We suggest pairing this bottle with Posana’s Joyce Farms Chicken, Lemon Tarragon Gnocchi or Fried Tofu. Sip this wine slowly to appreciate the wonderful refreshing crisp hint of apricots and ripe peach.
