Wine Details
Price:
$14.99 per bottle
Description:
Most of this wine was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to highlight the peach and honey dew melon aromas and flavors, the balance was barrel fermented and aged on the lees to increase the mouth feel and add hints of vanilla and oak spice. This full bodied wine is balanced with a firm mineral backbone. Yummy- a highly technical wine term describing the overall sensory 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.
