La Miraja 'Alterego' Piemonte Viognier 2023

The La Miraja “Alterego” Piemonte Viognier 2023 is a bright and elegant white wine from the small Piemontese estate La Miraja. It’s made from 100% Viognier grown on calcareous-clay soils at ~250 m elevation with eastern exposure. 

Here are its key features in short:

• Colour: Golden yellow with a touch of light green.  
• Aroma: Fresh peach, apricot, tropical fruits, lifted by mint and fresh hay.  
• Palate: Medium-bodied, texturally rich, floral with a distinctive mint-and-marjoram-tinged finish.  
• Winemaking: Native yeast fermentation, no malolactic fermentation, 3 months on fine lees in stainless, followed by 4 months bottle aging before release.  
• Alcohol: 13.5% ABV.  
• Food pairings: Works well with white meats, shellfish and creamy cheeses.  

In short: it’s a refined, aromatic Viognier from Piemonte—offering crisp acidity and floral/tropical character rather than heavy oak or overt richness.
