Price:
$20.00 per bottle
Description:
A mix of tart mango, peach, grapefruit with a rich creamy texture, this is a luscious treat that showcases how Viognier can be both big and rich yet soft and supple when handled gently. The moderate acidity and full fruit flavors make this a perfect wine for pairing with rich foods such as lobster, crab, abalone or more casual fare such as pâté, fresh fruit and a variety of hard and soft cheeses.

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.
