The grapes for our outstanding new Vanderbilt Reserve® Viognier were selected from vineyard partners in Virginia-one of the oldest wine regions in the country, and one that shares many similarities with our own estate vineyard. Under the direction of our winemaker, about half of the wine was barrel aged for three months, enhancing its characteristic rich scents of pineapple, vanilla, ripe pear, and strawberry with hints of oak. Crisp and refreshing with a light to-medium body and flavors of plantain, ripe persimmon, and key lime, this Viognier is delicious with dishes such as pineapple chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, monkfish, and aged white cheddar-its versatile, food-friendly qualities make it the perfect complement to a nice dinner with friends.
