Description:
Viognier is the rare white grape variety grown in the Northern Rhone Valley of France that performs very well in Western Colorado. The grape develops unique floral and spicy aromas, with a surprising quick finish due to its crisp acidity. Flavors of pineapple, lemon, kiwi, melon, honey and licorice dominate the taste. It is complementary to most foods, including brunch dishes, spicy Cajun foods, shellfish, seafood bisque or a strongly-flavored cheese.

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.
