WINE DESCRIPTION

Darioush Signature Viognier is a premium white wine produced by Darioush Winery in Napa Valley, California. The winery is known for its handcrafted wines from high-quality grapes grown in their estate vineyards. The Viognier grapes used in this wine are sourced from the cooler locales of Oak Knoll and Los Carneros. Early morning fog and late afternoon breezes allow this delicate variety to ripen slowly and completely. The wine is fermented in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, then aged in oak barrels for 7 months. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with aromas and flavors of stone fruits, honeysuckle, and vanilla. It has a rich, creamy texture and a long, complex finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This opulent and richly textured Darioush Signature Viognier is a luxurious and exotic expression of the varietal, crafted with meticulous attention to detail.The nose is bursting with aromas of honeysuckle, orange blossom and white peach, while the palate is lusciously layered with flavors of apricot, white nectarine, nashi pear and a hint of lavender. There's a wonderful contrast between the creamy texture and vibrant acidity that carries through to the dry and mineral-driven finish. Enjoy this delightful wine with a variety of dishes from rich, creamy pasta to grilled seafood.
