EdenVale Viognier Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: This wine demonstrates classic Rhone-styled Viognier that people love. The rich viscosity accentuates forward notes of apricot and peach together with melon, drawing into a lingering finish of lemon flower and citrus notes. This wine’s popularity is won because of its full front to back palate experience. Each flavor profile has its moment in time which makes this a superb drinking or food pairing wine. 308 cases produced.

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.
