Description:
Estelle Estelle, named in honor of my grandmother, is made from the same Viognier grapes with aromas of ripe apricot, papaya and passion fruit. The fruitiness is intertwined with a delicate blend of clove, cinnamon and coriander.
It is an excellent complement to your favorite dessert or cheese. One critic suggested matching "this mouth coating Viognier with Dark Chocolate or Crème Brûlée for a 'knock it out of the park' experience."

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.
