Viognier Fine Wine
Viognier Fine Wine
Viognier is the white Rhône renegade — exotic, full-bodied and gloriously aromatic when handled with care. It’s a grape that needs sun to shine, delivering heady notes of apricot, peach, honeysuckle and spice. But behind all the perfume lies structure and power, often with a waxy texture and a gentle bitterness that adds grip. At its best, Viognier is both opulent and precise — a white wine for red wine lovers, and a rare example of richness without oak-driven excess. Not always easy to get right, but unforgettable when it is.
