Viognier from France located in southern Rhone. This is the first time I try this varietal which happens to be a common white grape varietal in that area. The brand was created by two French men who want to show the exceptional wines that came out of Southern Rhone (aka they were like lets just make our own label from our favorite place).
Their overall goal/objective in starting this project was to select, age and blend Grenache-centric wines. Tune in now as I get into the story behind the label and try this grape varietal for the first time.
