California Viognier Wine Kit - VineCo Original Series™
Experience the Alluring Aromatics of Viognier
Viognier is often regarded as one of the most extravagant wine grapes in the world, renowned for its captivating fragrance and somewhat modest yields. Despite its challenging production per acre, this grape is highly esteemed, particularly for the exceptional wines it produces in France. While some theories suggest that Viognier made its way to the Rhône Valley from Croatia, thanks to the Roman emperor Probus, it has firmly established its identity as a quintessential French varietal, especially recognized for the illustrious Condrieu wine. Viognier is frequently likened to Chardonnay but stands out with its enchanting aromas of peach, honeysuckle, pear, and a hint of gingerbread.
In the United States, California’s Central Coast has emerged as a prime region for cultivating high-quality Viognier. This temperamental grape thrives under the warm California sun, enhancing its ripeness and intensifying the aromatics in the resulting wine. Compared to its French counterparts, California Viognier may exhibit slightly lower acidity while delivering a bolder fruit character.
Our VineCo California Viognier is a delight for the senses, featuring vibrant aromas of tangerine, peach, and rose. This dry white wine glides gracefully across the palate with a light-medium body and an alcohol content of 12% by volume.
The VineCo Original Viognier is a strikingly expressive wine that commands your attention. Each pour offers an intoxicating bouquet that transports you, creating a sensory experience that is hard to forget. To complement its bold personality, consider pairing this wine with equally vibrant dishes, such as a spicy Pad Thai or a creamy mushroom risotto.
