Region: Lodi, California Grapes: 100% Viognier Body: Medium Notes: Bright and aromatic. White peach, apricot, and jasmine with a floral lift, a beautifully rounded palate, and a clean, lively finish. Perfumed without being heavy — Viognier threading the needle just right. Pairing: Herbed chicken, spicy curries, grilled shrimp, Thai takeout, or solo backyard sipping well-chilled.
Kareen Viognier is produced by the Nemet family at their brand-new Lodi winery — a passion project honoring the Old World roots of Viognier, a grape native to the Northern Rhône Valley celebrated worldwide for its extraordinary floral perfume and stone fruit richness. Lodi's warm, sunny growing season and well-draining sandy soils produce Viognier of generous aromatics and natural roundness, and the Nemet family's sustainable farming approach ensures that freshness and balance are preserved from vine to glass. The result is a current-release white that drinks generously and aromatically without tipping into the heavy, blowsy style that Viognier can sometimes produce in warmer climates. Serve well-chilled and let the perfume do the talking — this is Lodi expressing one of the Rhône's most beloved varieties with warmth, character, and a distinctly Californian confidence.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
