Viognier 2004 VQA

Viognier 2004 VQA Wine Details
Price: $13.95 per bottle

Description: Enjoy wonderful aromas of ripe melon, white peach, and tangerine zest. Round, mouth-filling flavours featuring ripe white peach at first followed with citrus and soft melon on the finish. Just enough acidity to carry the fruit, nicely balanced. Drink young and quite cold.

Varietal Definition
Viognier:
The most acclaimed white wine grape from France's Rhône Valley, Viognier is a highly aromatic varietal, with a flavor profile that could include peach, apricot, nectarine, lichee, musk and flower blossom. The heady perfume of this varietal is one of its trademarks, although its flavors are sometimes problematic in matching with food. However, it does well with lobster, crab and moderately flavored fish. Use it as an apéritif as an alternative to Chardonnay. The "Rhône Rangers" in California have done an excellent job promoting this varietal.
