Gold color. Aromas and flavors of papaya, white flowers, and lychee with an shy, dry medium body and an appealing, snappy finish that shows elements of peach and poached pear. This is an expressive, aromatic white that will serve as a bridge between fruitier wines and dryer styles.

Serve in a White Wine Glass
Vin de Pays Viognier are everyday wines made from the Viognier grape in various parts of France, especially the south. The exotic fruit of Viognier with notes of honeysuckle, orange blossom and peach is quite appealing in these moderately priced wines, most of which are unoaked; enjoy these wines on a picnic during the summer or with sushi or Thai cuisine.
