Viognier Spritzer with Blood Orange, Lemon, and Mint
Our Viognier is lively and vibrant, leaping from the glass with the variety’s classic stone fruit characters alongside a fragrant floral bouquet. While fantastic on its own, every now and then we like to add seasonal ingredients to create a bubbly spritzer. This stunning wine cocktail matches the floral notes from the viognier, and citrus from the blood orange with the tang of lemon juice, making a balanced, delicious flavor.
