About Viognier

Viognier is a full-bodied, low-acid white with heady stone-fruit and blossom aromatics, at its most famous in Condrieu.

Serving temperature, decanting duration, and glassware guidance reflect consensus ranges drawn from established wine-education references, including Court of Master Sommeliers service guidelines, Wine Folly's reference charts, and Guild of Sommeliers / Decanter magazine decanting guidance.
