Viognier: the seductive white wine with unexpected complexity
Our selection of Viognier wines takes you on a journey through one of the most fascinating white grape varieties in the world of wine. Originally from the northern Rhône Valley, this grape variety with a thousand-year history has won over winemakers and enthusiasts alike thanks to its intense aromatic profile and extraordinary expressive versatility.
From ancient Condrieu to the world: a grape variety saved from extinction
Viognier, which risked extinction in the 1960s with only 14 hectares under cultivation, has experienced a spectacular revival. Our collection ranges from classic interpretations from Condrieu, its area of origin, to contemporary expressions from California, Australia, and Italy. Each bottle tells the story of a grape variety that has been able to reinvent itself while maintaining its aromatic identity, characterized by notes of peach, apricot, white flowers, and exotic spices.
A kaleidoscope of styles: from freshness to complexity
Tannico's Viognier wines represent the entire stylistic range of this versatile grape variety: from the most immediate and fragrant versions, vinified in steel to preserve their aromatic freshness, to the more complex interpretations aged in wood that enhance their structure and roundness. The different winemaking techniques, harvest time, and terroir profoundly influence the character of these wines, creating a fascinating mosaic of aromas and flavors ranging from minerality to exotic sweetness.
The ideal pairing: from exotic cuisine to cheese
The aromatic generosity and structure of Viognier wines make them ideal companions for sophisticated food pairings. Their natural smoothness and intense aromas pair perfectly with Asian cuisine, particularly Thai and Indian, thanks to their ability to balance spices and spiciness. Also excellent with soft cheeses, white meats in creamy sauces, and seafood dishes such as scallops and lobster, these wines are a sophisticated choice for exploring unconventional and surprising pairings.
