Tarara White

Tarara White Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: This Viognier (vee-OH-nyay) has a beautiful nose which becomes more complex with every sniff. Enticing aromas of melon, pear, lime, lychee and apricot, with a hint of honeysuckle, lead to a full palate with a long spicy finish.

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.
