Cooper Cellars Vedra Viognier 2022

Michael Cooper has lived in Spain since he was 23 years old and has made wines in several wine regions, especially in Aragón: in Somontano, Cariñena and especially in Campo de Borja where he has built his own winery and collaborates closely with others in the appellation. It is precisely in Campo de Borja where he is developing his project Los Ángeles, a name that comes from the genesis of the city where he went to university and 2 close grape grower friends of his named Ángel and that he feels blessed to have the opportunity to grow wines.

Currently his vineyards are in organic conversion and are cared for with biodynamic preparations. All the wines of the Los Angeles line follow the guidelines of “Vins Méthode Nature”. Michael's creations are special as they reflect the delicate aromas and flavors of the unique terroirs, without interpositions and with a minimalist intervention that obeys his motto: “clean, pure, energetic”.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Viognier from organic vineyards planted 750m above sea level on sandy limestone soils in Campo de Borja, Aragon, Spain

Taste Profile: A spicy viognier that is not overly perfumed. Instead, there is excellent complexity and depth, showing spiced lemons, fine nuts, brioche, nougat and a touch of seaweed. Full-bodied, phenolic and flavorful, with lovely richness and acidity extending to a fresh, lengthy and lightly salty finish. Quite unique and delicious.

Winemaking Process: Fermented & matured in seasoned French oak
