🍷 Why It Pairs with Viognier

Ketcham Estate's Viognier offers vibrant aromas of peach, apricot, citrus blossom, and subtle spice. Those flavors beautifully complement the herbaceous freshness of Frankfurt's Green Sauce while balancing the richness of the crispy schnitzel. The wine's acidity also refreshes the palate after every bite, making it a perfect summer pairing.
