Our Appellation Series Viognier from Alder Springs Vineyard in Mendocino County truly represents the spectacular terroir it hails from. This pristine, cooler climate vineyard is set in a rugged and remote location, where the vines thrive in the excellent, low-vigor soils on steep, terraced hillsides. This wine perfectly embodies the unique terroir from which it is grown, boasting a bouquet of flavors, including ripe pear, juicy pineapple, and tropical guava, balanced with beautiful minerality and bright acidity. We love this Viognier with just about any food, and it is a "must-try" for any wine lover who appreciates the nuances and subtleties that different terroirs can impart on a wine.
Viognier's aromatic profile means this wine can be enjoyed without food. However, it's stunning with many types of food - here are some of our favorites: Pad Thai, creamy and buttery cheeses, yellow, green, and red curries, rich shellfish with lemon and butter, sweet potatoes.
