On International Viognier Day, we celebrate one of the most aromatic and alluring white grape varieties in the world of wine. Originally from the Rhône Valley in France, Viognier has made a name for itself in Portugal, where it has been surprising us with its adaptability and unique expression across different terroirs.
Characterised by intense aromas of peach, apricot, white flowers and, at times, an exotic touch, Viognier stands out for its enveloping texture and elegant profile. It is a grape variety that combines freshness with a certain richness, making it perfect for both relaxed moments and more sophisticated food pairings.
In Portugal, we find excellent examples of this variety, wines with great aromatic expression, balance and a lingering finish.
This is the perfect opportunity to explore or rediscover Viognier through a carefully curated selection that highlights Portuguese producers who have been investing in this grape variety with very interesting results. Each bottle tells a story of adaptation and innovation, showing how Portugal continues to make its mark with international grape varieties too.
Raise a glass with us to Viognier, and to new discoveries in the world of wine.
