Description
A classic version of this top northern Rhone white variety. Soft and smooth with stone fruit flavors and just enough acidity to make it fresh.

The Arthur Earl Viognier is just how good Viognier can be. I like to take it out of the refrigerator for 10 minutes or so, just to take the cold edge off. It’s viscosity is amazing… you can just see how soft and creamy it is! Viognier is fragrant and has lots of aromas and flavors…for me it’s peaches. It is full and rich with a somewhat exotic character.
It’s perfect for this time of year. The dry finish compliments the stone fruit characteristic of the grape. Viognier is delicious with main courses as well as salads. I have to admit one of my favorite pairings with Viognier is a salad with mixed greens, candied walnuts, goat cheese and, of course, fresh fruit. Also, I would never have thought of watermelon in a salad but, I am serious, it is delicious. Just combine baby arugula, cubes of seedless watermelon, crumbled feta cheese and a balsamic vinegar glaze which is easy to make by reducing balsamic vinegar. Served with Viognier it is a perfect light lunch or appetizer.

Exotic fruit, creamy on the palate. Veal, shrimp scampi, California style tacos, peach and sesame crumble.
