Viognier (perfumed and full-bodied)

AROMAS AND FLAVOURS:

If it's perfumed peaches, apricots and honeysuckle you crave, Viognier is the best pick for you. The important thing is that grapes must come from low-yielding vines, as this is when grapes have more concentrated flavours. Sadly enough, many growers look to sell more wine, and we know what that means :(

BEST REGIONS:

*FRANCE, the Rhone Valley (Condrieu)
If you don't want to get disappointed and a bottle of diluted wine is the last thing you want on Saturday evening, Condrieu is the region you want to opt for (see the map below):
However, the price may repel many. For the ones who like their wallet content too much, the solution lures in the Languedoc, where cheaper, but less concentrated Viognier is produced:



*THE U.S., Colombia Valley
You can expect wines with firm and crisp acidity. Nothing to complain about y'all :)
