Darioush Signature Viognier Napa Valley 750mL

Napa Valley Viognier | 14.2% ABV | Fermented & Aged in French Oak | 750mL

Process & Profile

Darioush Signature Viognier Napa Valley is a rare, elegant white wine that captures both the aromatic intensity and refined structure that define the varietal at its best. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards in the southern Napa Valley, where marine breezes from San Pablo Bay temper the warmth of the day, this Viognier exhibits remarkable freshness alongside its signature lush texture.

Fermentation begins in neutral and lightly toasted French oak barrels, where the wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation to achieve balance between richness and vibrancy. After several months of lees stirring and barrel aging, the result is a beautifully textured, aromatic white wine that rivals top Rhône Valley expressions while showcasing California’s distinct fruit purity.
