Thanks for visiting our pages for uber fashionable Viognier wines. Viognier is the only grape permitted in Condrieu a French white wine made in the Rhone valley. This is another ancient white wine grape variety - origins unknown - although as with a number of varieties the romans have been associated with it's introduction to the Rhone valley region.
Viognier is another of the tricky varieties to grow. It is difficult to predict the yields from a given harvest and if the grape is not allowed to ripen fully, the resulting wines can be lacklustre in aroma and flavour. Get it right however as with the examples on our pages and the resulting wines are deep yellow, beautifully perfumed and relatively high in alcohol.
Only in pretty recent years have we seen viognier wines appear on the supermarket shelves. Despite wines made from this varoety being both food friendly and great on their own they have always played a second fiddle to chardonnay in terms of popular taste. With more of the grape being planted now however it has gone through a bit of a rennaisance amongst growers and consumers and is now easy to find both off and online. Like all wines whoes star has faded slightly but that have been rediscovered - the price tends to be very good too so it's a good time to be finding this variety for yourself if you aren't familiar with it so far.
