Wine Details
Price:
$20.00 per bottle
Description:
In the glass the wine is a medium straw color with lovely fragrances of honeysuckle, rose petals and citrus blossoms. In the mouth the flavors of peaches and apricots are balanced with a rich texture and a bright level of acidity. The Viognier pairs wonderfully with seafood and poultry dishes and the rich flavors in the mid-palate enable this wine to complement spicy Asian dishes, such as Thai curry, especially well.

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.
