Description:
This delicious, full-bodied Rhone varietal character is emphasized with no oak application throughout fermentation or aging, thereby allowing Viognier's crisp, food-friendly nature to dominate. The complex, intense, tropical flavors of apricot, pineapple, grapefruit and guava are nicely integrated throughout the palate, with a rich mouth feel and a pleasant, lingering finish.

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.
