Viognier’s historical stronghold lies in Condrieu, a small appellation in France’s Northern Rhône, where the grape displays fragrant honeysuckle, ripe peach, and exotic tropical notes. Its naturally low acidity creates a luxuriously smooth, full-bodied texture, offering an irresistibly perfumed and plush sip. More vineyards in California and around the world now cultivate Viognier, capturing the same enchanting aromatics that make it a sumptuous alternative to leaner white wines.
