International Viognier Day is 4/26 | WineTransit.com

Tomorrow is International Viognier Day, and it's time we give this full-bodied white the recognition it deserves. These fragrant white wines which originated in southern France typically have a little less acidity than Chardonnay, with common flavor notes of peach, tangerine, honeysuckle, and rose. We're just entering peak white wine season, and these refreshing whites are a great choice for summer enjoyment.

Here are a few of our favorites.

Peach and apricot notes are fragrant and juicy, with orange sherbet, lemon blossom and a fresh, mouthwatering finish. Drink now. 80,000 cases made, 19,400 cases imported.
RP8686 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Aug 2021
Scents of white pepper, flower blossoms and lychee mark the 2020 Y Series Viognier as being varietally correct, even if it’s not a rich, concentrated example. It’s medium-bodied, silky-textured and spicy, with a splash of rosewater on the finish. Drink it over the next year.

JD94+94–97 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 9/26/2022
Scheduled to be bottled in August, the 2021 Viognier Estate will be another beautiful example of Viognier. Ripe tangerines, quince, flowers, and a kiss of honeyed minerality all define the bouquet, and it’s as pure and seamless as they come, with medium to full body, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It’s slightly more chiseled and focused compared to the 2020, but both are brilliant. (Jeb Dunnuck)
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 8th Dec 2022
The 2021 Viognier Estate was mostly barrel fermented and matured, with the exception of a small portion of terracotta. Lush quince and white peach are complemented by tones of crushed almonds, beeswax and spice on the nose. Medium-bodied and satiny, the palate is generous and savory with plenty of freshness and a touch of anchoring texture that drives the very long finish. It will be released in the spring of 2023.

All varietal, the 2022 Viognier Tepusquet Vineyard is terrific as well, with a light hue as well as perfumed, exotic notes of sappy, minty herbs, lemon pith, and orange blossom in a clean, medium-bodied, vibrant profile. It’s an outstanding example of the variety to drink over the coming year or so. (Jeb Dunnuck)
