What is Viognier

Viognier is a white wine that originated from Southern France. In Northern Rhône, Viognier won't typically appear on the label and instead, the two appellations Condrieu or Château-Grillet will appear. When ageing Viognier wine, wineries choose whether to age it in stainless steel or new or older oak barrels. When aged in stainless steel, it preserves the full intensity of Viognier's flavours. Meanwhile, ageing it in oak barrels will add additional layers of vanilla and sweet spice. As Viognier ages, it has low acidity with nutty flavours like almond emerging. Viognier wines are full-bodied with fragrant notes of peach, tangerine and honeysuckle. It can be also oak-aged to add a creamy taste with hints of vanilla. As one of the best South African white wines, Viognier can be blended with the red grape Syrah in Côte-Rôtie. Generally, it's made as a dry wine and aged in oak, but it can also be used to make medium and sweet wines.
