Viognier - Fralich Vineyard

Viognier - Fralich Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: This wine has aromas of melon and honey. Flavors include stone fruits and vanilla with a touch of oak. Rich and velvety, this will pair well with more flavorful foods than most white wines. Try it with grilled black pepper albacore tuna, chicken dishes, and roasted pork.

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.
