Viognier

16486 visitors
Viognier was once a fairly common grape, though it is now a rare white grape grown almost exclusively in the northern Rhône regions of France. Around the 1960s, the grape was almost extinct when there were only eight acres in Northern Rhône. The popularity of the wine, as well as its price, has risen and thus the number of plantings have increased. Rhône now has over 740 acres planted.
More information on Viognier
Food Pairing: Pairs well with lobster and rich, buttery seafood. Viognier can handle a smoky flavor and works well with pungent salads, ambrosias and cheeses.

2005 Viognier Carneros
Acacia Vineyard

Each year at Acacia we make a very small amount of Viognier from our three-acre vineyard. At harvest the grapes are astringent and plain, but once fermentation begins, the juice in ...more the barrel magically transforms. We whole-cluster press the grapes, followed by a long, slow fermentation in 90-gallon brandy casks. Once the primary fermentation is complete, we stop the malolactic fermentation as necessary to preserve the wine’s freshness and fruit.

The powerful nose speaks of white peach, pineapple, cinnamon, honeysuckle and vanilla. The palate shows a silky richness, turning to fresh apple, citrus, honeysuckle and tropical fruits on the long, exhilarating finish. This wine will do quite well on its own as an aperitif or will give exotic spice to pan-seared scallops in a citrus saffron beurre blanc.

2006 Viognier
St. Helena

The 2006 Viognier represents a significant change from our other vintages. The Viognier vines around the winery were removed in 2002 and the vineyard was replanted. While we harv ...moreested only a partial crop, the grapes were combined with our Russian River sourced grapes. The wine was then blended with 1% Muscat and 2% Gewürztraminer to give a wonderful balance and excellent acidity. The result is a wine that “jumps out of the glass.†The bouquet is an incredible blend of honeysuckle with the characteristic peaches and melon traditionally found in great Viognier. The wine is very crisp, yet rich on the palate with a dry finish. The flavors of intense melon and peach follow through on the palate. We believe this is our best Viognier ever from Arger-Martucci—a great wine to start a meal or simply sip on the veranda.

2004 Viognier
Santa Ynez Valley

Viognier is one of the three northern Rhone white varieties found in common usage, and probably, the most common and popular of the three. It has great flavors of peaches and apric ...moreots, with the peach definitely dominating in this wine. Because of the forty percent new oak barrels used for fermentation and aging, it has a wonderful richness, almost sweetness that compliments the peach flavor, although there is no significant residual sugar in the wine. Viognier, unfortunately, is a variety lacking in a lot of acid so that it is not a very long lived wine, but that does not mean that it can not be an excellent alternative to Chardonnay, just drink it young. As this is a big full flavored white wine you can be especially creative with your food pairings. Think about things that you serve with fruit sauces or accompaniments. Ham, turkey, fish, lamb and pork come to mind, but it can also be served almost anywhere you would serve Chardonnay.

Our 2007 Viognier is blended with 25% Roussanne. Right out of the bottle, an aroma of white peaches, bright enough to make a Georgia farmer proud, fills the air. The roussanne adde ...mored in gives this wine a rich, mineral, well rounded mid-palate, with subtle notes of honeysuckle, and a finish so crisp and so bright, you could swear you were biting into a fresh yuzu.

2005 Viognier
Russian River Valley

Like our 2004, our 2005 Viognier was produced from grapes grown on Catie's Corner Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, which is a vineyard developed by Sara Lee Kunde. Catie is Sa ...morera Lee’s daughter. The crop this year was smaller than usual (as was the 2004) producing fruit with more concentrated flavors.



Viognier (V-Own-Yeah) is an enjoyable white wine whose grapes have their origin in the Rhone Valley Appellations of Condrieu and Chateau Grillet. Viognier is also blended with Syrah in producing Cote Rotie wines. Food friendly, Viognier pairs well with fish, spicy foods, Asian infusions, crab and lobster, rice pudding or just drink it as an aperitif. Serve slightly chilled to enhance the fruit characteristics of the wine.



The 2005 Viognier has a complex nose of apricot, peach, pear, citrus and wild flowers. The mouth feel is harmoniously balanced between richness and lively acidity. The finish is marked by long-lasting flavors reflecting the fruity and floral aromas.
