Viognier

This full-bodied white variety is deceptive in its appearance. Blind tasted and you could very likely mistake it for a red wine, which in fact is what some critically acclaimed sommeliers have done in the past (let’s not point fingers..)
When growing Viognier patience is essential, as it requires warmth and a long growing season to develop its naturally high sugars into the generous wine that it is. Which is why you only find it in North and South America, the Oceanias and southern part of France, most famously producing Condrieu wines. The result is a soft and rounded wine, rich with peaches and pears that transports you to somewhere a little warmer than the UK!
