Viognier
Şarap Üzümlü
- Viognier (Fransızca telaffuzu: [vjɔɲje]) beyaz şaraplık bir üzüm çeşididir. Rhône Vadisi'nde Fransız şarabı Condrieu için izin verilen tek üzümdür.
- Condrieu and Château-Grillet are undoubtedly the most famous Viognier-producing areas here, known for their 100% Viognier wines with excellent aging potential...
- The region’s warm climate and unique terroir provide an ideal environment for cultivating Viognier grapes.
- The floral variety of Viognier was initially planted on the estate in 1993 in collaboration with the Agriculture School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
- Viognier ranges in taste from lighter flavors of tangerine, mango and honeysuckle to creamier aromas of vanilla with spices of nutmeg and clove.
- In its ancestral French home, Viognier has expanded its acreage in the Rhône Valley and even gained a foothold in points further west throughout Southern France.
- I have yet to taste an impressive Viognier that was less than 13% alcohol – but I have tasted many that seemed top-heavy and too alcoholic.
- Viognier, when produced well, is a wonderfully aromatic grape variety, that develops aromas of apricot, peach, honeysuckle and gingerbread.
- The Viognier grapes produce a wine with a straw-yellow color with golden reflections.
- Despite these difficulties, Viognier is the hottest varietal wine in Australia, mainly due to its delicious combination with Shiraz.
