Viognier is a grape with a remarkable history of survival and resurrection. Once on the brink of extinction, this aromatic and expressive white wine has overcome devastating challenges, from the phylloxera epidemic of the 19th century to its near disappearance after World War II. Thanks to the dedication of vintners worldwide, Viognier has made a resounding comeback. Though it can be a challenging grape to grow, its resilience and distinctive character make it a favorite among winemakers and wine lovers alike. With its luscious texture, vibrant aromatics, and rich stone fruit flavors, Viognier is a wine worth celebrating—especially as we approach International Viognier Day on April 25th.
