Explore Viognier if you like Chardonnay and you can expect it to be slightly softer in acidity, lighter and more perfumed. Off dry styles will bring out the peachy notes in viognier

Try it with a Thai Basil Chicken, or scallops! It goes beautifully with delicate meats as well, especially those made with Tarragon

If you love the floral notes of Viogner definitely seek out dry Moscatel from Portugal, Torrontés from Argentina and dry styles of Müller Thurgau.

If you love the richness of a creamy oaked Viognier, you’ll also be keen on oak-aged versions of Marsanne, Roussanne, Trebbiano (from Italy!) and Chardonnay.
