Inspiration Vineyards

If you’ve enjoyed unoaked Chardonnay in the past and are looking to expand your wine universe, Viognier is the perfect alternative with its rich aromatics and round, supple texture on the palate. Inspiration Vineyards’ 2014 Viognier is 100% stainless fermented and cellared – and 100% delicious.

The minute this bright, light yellow wine touches the glass, you’ll be welcomed by powerful, ripe tropical fruit aromas – pineapple, spiced mandarin and fresh peach – laced with notes of white flower and a hint of vanilla/caramel taffy. Medium-Full in body, with a silky smooth texture lifted by a balanced acidity. Pineapple, orange citrus and peach Meringue follow through to the palate and lead to a long, enjoyable finish.

The famed white grape of France’s Rhone Valley, Viognier is known for its intense aromatics and rich, full body. Creamy and buttery dishes like chicken alfredo, crab cakes with Rémoulade and pan-seared scallops make great pairings. Experiment with dishes featuring sauces that compliment the wine aromas and flavors, like mango, apricot and peach. Creamy curries and chick or shrimp Pad Thai are fun too. Enjoy!
