Viognier

Viognier – a white wine grape.
Aromas of peach and apricots, medium acidity.
Grows well in a warm climate.
A grape variety which was nearly extinct, a few parcels exempted: in Condrieu, northern Rhône.
Because the steep slopes in Condrieu are very hard to work on this grape was nearly given up on.
Rediscovered in the Beaujolais and now very popular in the new wine countries: Australia, Argentina, California, South Africa.
