Viognier (pronounced vee-own-yay) is a beautifully aromatic white wine that feels warm and welcoming from the very first sip. It greets you with the scent of honeysuckle and soft peach, followed by hints of apricot and citrus that make it feel fresh yet gently rounded. The aroma alone invites you in — floral, ripe, and just a little bit exotic.
In the glass, it’s smooth and lightly textured, with a medium body and a soft, easy finish. The flavour leans toward stone fruit and subtle spice, balanced by enough crispness to keep it lively. Viognier is a wine that fills the mouth without feeling heavy — silky rather than sharp, bright rather than biting.
It’s the kind of wine that’s perfect when you want something flavourful but not fussy. Enjoy it with roast chicken, grilled seafood, or creamy pasta, or pair it with soft cheeses and good company. Its floral fruit character also makes it an easy favourite for warm evenings on the patio or simple dinners that call for something special but uncomplicated.
If you enjoy the fullness of Chardonnay but prefer a touch more fragrance and softness, Viognier is an easy wine to fall in love with. Gentle, expressive, and satisfying, it’s a reminder that white wine can be both aromatic and relaxed — something to savour without overthinking.
As part of the WineXpert Classic series, this kit produces a light- to medium-bodied white wine ready in four weeks, yielding about 30 bottles of smooth, aromatic character that’s easy to enjoy year-round.
