Viognier
Viognier is a white wine grape that is known for its aromatic and full-bodied characteristics. It is primarily grown in the Rhône Valley region of France, particularly in the appellations of Condrieu and Château-Grillet. However, it has also gained popularity in other wine regions around the world, including California, Australia, and South Africa.
One of the most important facts about Viognier is its low-yielding nature, which means that it requires careful cultivation and attention to detail in order to produce high-quality grapes. This grape is known for its intense aromas of apricot, peach, and tropical fruits, as well as its rich and luscious flavors. It often exhibits a smooth and creamy texture, with a hint of spice and floral notes.
