What to Expect

Viognier is one of the great grapes of France's Rhone Valley. It is an extremely aromatic variety redolent of ripe peaches and wild flowers. It is frequently used to add aromatic complexity to blended wines but on its own, delivers a rich, soft wine with high alcohol and deep flavors of honey, peach, apricot and tangerine.

Winemakers Notes

"What strikes first about this curious varietal is how astonishingly fragrant it is in the glass. Fresh tangerine, juicy peach and nectarine entwine with scents of jasmine, rose petals, lemon peel and butter cookie. An appealing alternative to more familiar whites, Viognier is a lovely wine to sip on its own, but also pairs well with seafood dishes such as sautéed sea scallops or grilled shrimp." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker

Great wine for the money. Works really well with spicy food. Serve chilled. It is very refreshing, with great fruit flavours and nice smoothness.
