In America, Argentina and Chile, Viognier is planted and mainly used in sole varietal white wine, the flexibility not being compromised.
In America, Viognier is often vinified with oak, keeping with the style of Condreiu.
The grape is usually unoaked and makes lighter, "drink-now", wines in South America.
In Australia, the Côte-Rotie blend has become very popular. In this blend, the 5% Viognier addition to the Shiraz/Syrah grape helps to soften the rtannic red wine, and bonds to juice to make the wine more aromatic.
Key Regions
France (Rhône Valley), America (California), Chile, Argentina and Australia.
Colour and Flavours
As a single varietal, Viognier is yellow-gold in colour and complex in aroma with notes of honey, apricot, peach and hawthorn. When oaked, it is rounded on the palate, whereas when devoid of oak maturing it is more acidic and crisp.
