📚 People say when drinking Viognier they can feel an oily sensation on the middle of their tongue
🤩 If you prefer a lighter, leaner Viognier, seek out wines that range from about 14% ABV or less. And if you want to have a richer, bolder, fruit-forward style, get a higher alcohol style.
Oak Aging: New oak aging delivers a richer creamier taste, lower acidity and aromas of clove, nutmeg and vanilla.
Neutral and no oak aging (made in Stainless steel) will deliver more floral and tropical fruit flavors in the wine while maintaining its acidity and often a subtle bitter note.
👍🏾 Viognier produces the best wines when it grows in sunny regions with temperatures moderated by cool nights or nearby bodies of water. The importance of cool weather is to maintain Viognier’s precious acidity.
💖 If you love bolder white wines like Chardonnay, Viognier is definitely something you’ll like to try.
Also try: Moscatel, Torrontés, Müller Thurgau and if you like oak-aged Viognier’s try: Marsanne – Roussanne, .
