Viognier is a white wine grape variety from the Rhône Valley in France, known for producing aromatic, full-bodied white wines. It was nearly extinct in the mid-20th century but has experienced a significant revival due to its distinctive character and quality potential.
Flavors & Aromas
Apricot, peach, pear, honeysuckle, floral notes, and white flowers with hints of spice and minerality
Winemaking & Aging
Viognier produces dry, full-bodied white wines with moderate to high alcohol content (13-15%). It has good aging potential of 3-5 years in quality examples, though most are best enjoyed young. The grape is prone to oxidation and requires careful winemaking, with fermentation in stainless steel or neutral oak being common practice.
