This wine has an appealing light straw color with greenish hues. In the aroma there are nuances of ripe banana, papaya, lemon-lime, mandarin, pear, honeydew melon and white peach. There is a subtle hint of angel food cake adding to the complexity of this immensely fruity and floral wine. Lively flavors of white peach compliment great balance and a wonderful richness in the mouth. A zesty finish leaves a fresh taste impression.

Wine Enthusiast

A beautiful Viognier that showcases the variety’s rich, exotic side. Offers a mouthburst of ripe grilled peaches, pineapples, green apples, honeysuckle and vanilla wrapped into a creamy, buttery texture. Try as an offbeat alternative to Chardonnay.
