As the weather gets warmer, it spurs us to buy/drink more
white wine. One of my go-to white wines of recent has been a very unusual grape
varietal. When you think of summer whites you tend to think about fruity Sauvignon
Blanc, crisp Riesling, or a full bodied Chardonnay. I enjoy all three of these
varieties, but one grape that has had my attention of late is Viognier. This
white grape is usually found in the South of France, but I am focusing my
attention away from Viognier’s home and looking towards Chile .
Price: $8.95 (on sale till the end of the month)
This Chilean white is pale straw in colour. A very aromatic
white. Tropical and stone fruits dominate the nose (pineapple & peaches)
with a hind of floral notes, which are typical of Viognier. The tropical and
stone fruits continue on the palate with fresh acidity and great length. A very
enjoyable summer white! 88 points
