Wine Details
Price:
$11.95 per bottle
Description:
The fruit was whole cluster pressed to remove the juice from the skins immediately. Once pressed, the must was pumped into a stainless steel tank to cold settle for about 48 hours. This allowed any sediments and solids to fall to the bottom of the tank. The clean juice was racked off the sediment, transferred to another tank, and inoculated to begin fermentation. The wine remained in stainless steel until bottling. Prior to bottling, the wine was cold filtered.

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.
