Tasting notes
Shimmering straw color. Vibrant, mineral-accented aromas and flavors of white peach and melon, with orange pith and floral elements gaining strength in the glass. Shows very sharp focus and a touch of spiciness courtesy of a hint of ginger. The floral touch carries a long, taut finish that leaves a repeating orange note behind.

Aged in stainless steel (25%) and older oak (75%), the 2018 IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Viognier de Rosine offers up a generous bouquet of flowery scents, apricot and pineapple. It's fleshy and plump in the mouth, but it seems a bit austere on the chalky, austere finish.
Peachy, light, floral. Fairly short, but with good fruit ripeness in a simple but authentically Viognier style. (RH)
This has a super fresh and elegantly juicy feel with fresh pear, apple and white-melon aromas and flavors, as well as some fresh-bread and stony nuances at the finish. Drink now.
