{"product_id":"michael-shaps-viognier-2022","title":"Michael Shaps Viognier 2022","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"359\"\u003eA benchmark example of Virginia viognier from one of the state’s most influential winemakers, Michael Shaps. Originally from New York, Shaps trained and worked extensively in Burgundy before settling in Virginia, where he has played a major role in elevating the region’s reputation for expressive, balanced wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"361\" data-end=\"649\"\u003eWorking from vineyards in the Monticello AVA, Shaps focuses on precision and restraint, aiming to capture viognier’s natural aromatics without letting it become overly heavy. His style leans toward freshness and clarity, a key reason his wines are often cited among the best in the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"986\"\u003eThe 2022 shows classic viognier character with lifted notes of honeysuckle, white peach, apricot, and citrus blossom. The palate is medium bodied with a silky texture, balancing ripe stone fruit with bright acidity and a clean, mineral edged finish, a profile that Virginia does especially well. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1114\"\u003eA polished, expressive white that feels both aromatic and controlled, great with seafood, spiced dishes, or simply on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roanoke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51205071929659,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4991\/3915\/files\/MichaelShapsViognier2022.jpg?v=1777418435","url":"https:\/\/flightwineshop.com\/products\/michael-shaps-viognier-2022","provider":"Flight Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
