Viognier

Prominently found in the Rhone valley of France and in California, the Viogneir grapes are known for their floral aroma wines. The wines which are noted for their apple, peach, spicy and citrus flavors, are predominantly dry and medium bodied. The grape generally has low acidity. Apart from France, the grape is also grown widely in California and Australia and is also gaining popularity in South Africa, Japan, New Zealand and Greece. Depending on the wine maker, the wine produced from this grape can be quite exquisite to ordinary. The wine is also one of the very few which goes well with the Asian cuisine.
