$15.00 per bottle
Description:
Our winemaker has always been attracted to the wines of the Rhone Valley of France. Viognier originated there as a blending wine and in co-fermentations with Syrah. Both French and Australian winemakers discovered it over time and Viognier made its mark as a bright, floral, and fruit forward wine. It wasn't until Viognier reached the Northwest US that it really gained a following. We're excited to release our take on this new northwest favorite!

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.
