Description:
Viognier is a varietal we are committed to positioning as our core white wine due to its incredible aromatic potential, complex flavor profile and luxurious texture. The wine is challenging to produce, but the reward is found in a wine that gets back to the roots of winemaking. It is simply a pleasure to drink. Hand picked, hand sorted and whole cluster pressed the juice was 100% barrel fermented in 100% neutral oak (3+ year old barrels).

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.
