VIOGNIER 2020

Viognier is a traditional and powerful white grape grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon and Rhone Valley of France, often used in famous blends with Marsanne and Roussanne. Viognier is also grown in other countries like Australia and the United States. In the United States, California is home to the production of gorgeous Viognier wines with the classic perfumed character that they exhibit in the French cradle, but usually takes on a more tropical dimension. With grapes grown in the warm area of Ripon, California, we produced this Viognier with bold tropical flavors, and a full-bodied and silky texture. Enjoy our 100% Viognier with spicy curries, seafood, or Brie and Chevre cheeses.
