Viognier – the aromatic white wine of the Rhône
Viognier is one of the most expressive white wines of all: full-bodied, fragrant and beguilingly aromatic. Where other white varieties rely on lean freshness, Viognier seduces with lush aromas of apricot and peach and a supple, oily body. At Vinoscout you will find more than a dozen Viogniers, from accessible wines from 2.99 euros to great representatives from the best sites.
Origin: the northern Rhône and the world
Its home is the northern Rhône, above all the small, legendary appellation Condrieu, where Viognier ripens into world-class white wines. As a blend partner, it is even allowed to be added to red Côte-Rôtie to support its colour and fragrance – a rare case in which a white vine refines a great red wine.
Almost disappeared, Viognier has experienced a renaissance since the 1980s and today also grows in the Languedoc, in California and in Australia, where warmer, fruit-forward styles are created.
Taste profile: apricot, peach and melt
Viognier is full, soft and intensely aromatic. Typical are aromas of apricot, peach and mango, plus honeysuckle, violets and a hint of honey. Its low acidity and full body give it a creamy melt; aged in wood, it gains additional structure and complexity. A white wine for connoisseurs who prefer fullness and fragrance to mere freshness.
Food recommendations: Viognier at the table
- Poultry and pork: especially with dishes with creamy sauces.
- Spicy cuisine: with Asian dishes and mild curries.
- Cheese: with soft cheese and aromatic mountain cheese.
