Viognier – Bien Nacido Vineyard

Viognier – Bien Nacido Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: A distinctive Viognier, with aromas of citrus zest and flavors of lemon, lime, and lychee with a mineral note in the structure and on the finish. Crisp and flavorful with a bright nose, the wine will pair well with a variety of foods, such as lemon caper pasta, grilled seafood and Asian dishes.

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.
