Description:
Lemon-yellow in color. This wine saw a slow cold stainless steel fermentation only in order to preserve the delicate fruity floral aroma inherent to this precious varietal. On the nose you'll find typical aromas of peach, apricot, Johnathan apples, citrus, and creme brulee. The wine's mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing yet has a solid medium to full body core. The lack of malolactic fermentation preserved the natural fresh acidity of the grapes. Although great on its own as an afternoon sipping wine, it could also be enjoyed with seafood dishes and selected 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.
