The Bride’s Delight
2020 Viognier
Napa Valley
Krupp Brothers has traditionally produced the "Bride" bottling. Historically a combination of Rhone varietals, we are updating it to a pure Viognier blend. Our Premiere Napa Valley lot is a selection of the oak fermented portion of the blend. It is 100% new oak, fermented in 100% new French oak and aged on the fermentation lees. A pure Viognier that will be part of the final blend.
Winemaker, Krupp Brothers
Growing up on his family's small vineyard in the Provence region of France, Julien has not missed a harvest since he was 16. Weekend and holiday jobs on the family vineyard eventually turned into a career in the wine business. He trained in Bordeaux, working for the esteemed First Growth Château Lafite-Rothschild and Smith Haut Lafitte where he oversaw vineyard management and developed his winemaking skills.
After moving to Napa in 2006, Fayard began working alongside Philippe Melka as Director of Winemaking at Atelier Melka. There he honed his winemaking skills all the while learning more about the multiple climates and terroirs that make up the Napa Valley.
