(2025) Once confined to two tiny patches in France's Rhone Valley, Viognier has had a real boom in the past few decades, and who'd have thought it would be planted here in Valencia, on the sunny Mediterranean coast of Spain. With only 11% alcohol I presume this was picked very early, which has certainly retained plenty of bright acidity in the wine, though the varietal character is modest. There is some peach and some pear, a lemony zest, and altogether it drinks quite nicely in a summery, picnic way.
