Our White Wines
At Carina Cellars our white wines
are made from the Viognier grape - pronounced
Vee-on-yay. This is a grape that originates from the south of France
and has adapted very well to the Santa Barbara climate, where it
ripens fully to produce its classic aromas and rich tastes. To find
out more about this fantastic grape, please visit the Enjoying
Viognier website.

Viognier,
Stolpman, 2006
Like a sun-kissed blond running down the beach,
this wine conjures up thoughts of summer flings and sweet honey
finishes. With a nose full of apricots, peaches and pears there
is no denying that this is a true Rhone style Viognier. A smooth,
rounded mouthfeel is followed by a long butterscotch finish reminiscent
of the Stolpman Vineyard. The limestone soil and sloping terrain
add a touch of minerality to the delicious fruit bowl bounding out
of the bottle. Enjoy this wine with a spicy Thai dish or freshly
caught sole.

Viognier,
Central Coast, 2006
Like a hummingbird that has found its perfect
flower, this Viognier offers all of the traditional flavors one
expects from this temperamental grape. Finicky to grow, one must
pick the Viognier grape at its peak of ripeness or the balance of
acidity and alcohol will be lost in the shuffle of fruitiness and
flavor. A Caribbean abyss awaits in every glass, starting with a
nose full of orange blossoms and honeysuckles and a palate ripe
with apricots and peaches. A hint of pink grapefruit finishes with
the classic touch of honey that marks a hand crafted Viognier aged
in neutral French oak. Always a favorite for those hot summer nights,
pair this Viognier with some spicy grilled shrimp and a fresh berry
tart and watch the bottle disappear!

Late
Harvest Viognier, Westerly Vineyard, 2006
The perfect end to a perfect evening! Enjoy this
luscious dessert at the end of the night and reminisce about the
Dionysian festivities. With a touch of sweetness and a riveting
tropical essence, Carina Cellars' first vintage of this wine offers
an ending so satiating you will skip the chocolate cake every time.
